Giliyal Jayaram Bhat

The show is on view from Reflections of the Mindscape is a solo show of senior artist Giliyal Jayaram Bhat from Bangalore, being held at Nehru Centre AC Gallery, Mumbai.

The show has been curated by Sushma Sabnis, Mumbai

Bangalore based artist Giliyal Jayaram Bhat presents his solo show of art works which engage with the abstract lexicon of art. Intensely rich and vibrant in compositions, these art works have been rendered in Acrylic on canvas.

The works have been created over a span of five years and portray the transitional evolution of the artist's ideologies and creative processes. Abstract art is a language which few have been known to decipher and Bhat has the ability to do so and present intense artworks brimming with movement and flair. An industrialist by profession, he spent his early life pursuing his art practice silently and then later on under the tutelage veteran artist GS Shenoy, Udupi, artist Akshayakumar Jha (AKUJHA), Mumbai, artist PS Punchitthaya, Kasargod and artist VB Hiregouder, Davanagere.

He pursued his BFA and MVA from Mysore.

About the Works in the show:

What sets apart Bhat's works from other abstractionists in the country is his attention to detail especially in the way the elements are composed on the canvas. There is an innocent way in which the artist approaches the canvas and this contributes to the merger of colour, depth, space and lucidity. Creation of a mood and movement is very important for Bhat as is evident in most of the works. Natural landscapes often find their remembrances in the works as the artist also excels at landscapes and portraitures. Having a very keen travelling streak in him, he has witnessed nature's truth and purity and most of it distills through in his works.

The works are informed by controlled processes of concealing, revealing and erasures which create spaces on the pictorial plane appearing disconnected and cohesive all at once. These contrasts are important for aesthetic abstraction as the works intend to evoke in the viewer.
