Essentially Surya Prakash
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.- Albert Einstein
Seated in the petite yet well-ordered studio on the fifth floor of L. V. Prasad eye hospital is this celebrated yet poised artist Surya Prakash, who adroitly converges art with science. His paintings echoing the tranquillity of nature through a window like projection across the hospital and bringing a fresh desire to relive lost days for those perceiving vision anew. The coruscating contours in his paintings is charted in almost six decades of his work and is unlike any abstract realism experienced before.
The veteran artist’s core subject has always been infinite nature, but none of his compositions is the reflection of any existing reality, instead every inch of his canvas brings forth sublime surprises. The prolific lush grass, the rapture of moonlit sky, the grandeur of mighty mountains, the opulence of dazzling sunlight, the stillness of drenched forest after rain and the rejuvenating streams of water, all point towards artist’s connection with abstract expressionism. The renowned European impressionists Van Gogh, Pissarro and Monet’s works and their lives were his inspiration in his formative days, says the graceful artist Surya Prakash.
