“CHIAROSEURO” Solo Art Exhibition
the shades of light and life
by Dhanaraj Keezhara.
Driven by the motto, ‘Return to Nature’. I attempt to develop a distince style, exploring variationsin each painting. Experimenting with new material, innovative mediums and styles poses innumerable challenges. The color and tone of tea stain depend on several factors like the kind of tea poweder/leaves used, time taken to soak and boil it, the number of layers splashed on the canvas etc. Black tea produces soft brown, wheat colored stain, The tea will be more concentrated and darker if boiled for a longer period. Tea dries a shade lighter than it appears when it is wet, so several applications are required for dark stain. As an eco-friendly alternative, this medium allows me to connect with nature in most purest form and also, veer off the trodden path. Much of my inspiration come from my engagement with students and Christel House India. They come with a baggage of the past from underprivileged back grounds. These sketches are a combination of memories, imagination and responses to different situation in life.
