A disconnect that loses its urge

07.02.12

Saumi Nandy claims to “disconnect” from her surroundings, from society, and even from her “formal self” through her art. Her canvases, displayed in the exhibition, Image within Image: A Psychic Journey (Academy of Fine Arts, October 21-27), reflect a contradiction between melancholy and celebration, as also between aloofness and involvement.

She has been both flamboyant and hesitant in her approach. Her strokes are bold and direct, but she shies away from reaching an aesthetic crescendo in most of her paintings. What is lacking is not skill but an absolute surrender to passion. This could have rendered subtlety to her art had she not chosen gestural abstraction as her style.

Gestural abstraction, also known as “action painting”, demands of the artist a great level of spontaneity, a kind of fanatic ardour. The philosophy behind this genre comprises the attempt to achieve direct access to the artist’s subconscious; the works of painters such as Franz Kline dwell on the physical act of painting — the impulsive madness of the brush.

Q: What is the method of painting called where the artist intentionally leaves the white of the canvas showing?

by Jennifer

Q: can a hole be made in a painting canvas ?

by FITCH.

i have a painting canvas (white canvas material on a wooden board) which i brought. i want to make a small hole in it to poke some ribbon through, but i'm worried it will make the canvas collapse or the material will go saggy. help?

Golden Opportunity...

A: You could gesso the canvas, front and back, to strengthen it before cutting. I've seen canvas with holes and no support at all. Once painted, they held up very well, depending on the medium. Myself, I'd prime, even if just the area where the hole is

Red Bricks

A: Washable color will rub off on things.
Acrylic paint is pretty permanent, you can decorate in colors but not go back to white, and it takes a while to dry.
