Expressions of human emotions were profoundly conceptualized in the ancient Indian aesthetic tradition of the rasas. Artist Nawal Kishore drew upon this age-old philosophy to infuse authenticity and depth into his paintings. Kishore’s solo show, “The Aesthetic View,” created a tapestry of life with the concepts of love, beauty, and bonding. In a world seeking kindness and understanding, Kishore’s portrayal of human relationships held special relevance. His subjects, with their nuanced body language, resonated with sensitivity and compassion. The angularity of the compositions created a sense of balance and poise, while the delicate treatment of color and light crafted an ethereal ambiance. Somewhere in the background of each composition lay a subtle presence of the divine. Nawal Kishore’s work beautifully illustrated the soul’s longing for a connection with a higher power, embodying sophistication and sensuality in its portrayal. The convergence of these elements in “The Aesthetic View” offered an enriching artistic experience for all.
