Born in Pune, Vaishali Oak is an established Contemporary artist influenced by the techniques of ‘Godhadi’. Inspired by nature’s abundance, Oak embarked upon a journey of introspection, evolution and self-actualisation. These works act as a meditative tool, delving deeper, both, literally and figuratively to uncover latent designs and thoughts. “We have an interesting way of training our senses, especially sight. From early experiments to push boundaries and develop experiences, we use our senses to glean a visual understanding of the world. By adulthood, these learnings morph into a library of sensory memories, emotions and impressions. My works are full of explosions of saturated color and rippling texture, inspired by my recent experiments and study of nature and its color palette. By spontaneously rending and distressing the fabric, I create a sense of drama that draws in the viewer and intensifies their sensory reflections by drawing on stored memories.“ “Each panel is filled with unbridled joy, a celebration of the metamorphosis I see in nature, and an evolution in my practice. I offer new courage in the form of bold strokes and a spirited approach to the hues that bring the works to life.”
