Artist Anutosh’s paintings seem to offer a glimpse of indefinable landscapes within which mysterious forms can move freely. The artist gives the viewer space to give meaning to shapes and colors as he sees fit.
For Anutosh, his work is a search within the art of painting for his own visual language in forms, textures, colors and techniques. Not only the search for beauty and harmony are part of this, but also for oppression and an ominous sense.
These aspects are inextricably linked in his work. At first glance, the work seems to show us an accessible, natural space, but if we look longer, we see an unfathomable world that holds secrets. The outside of the tree branches, the bark, shows our outside, what we want to represent, what we want to be.
The pink shapes give a glimpse into the inner world. Outside and inside are like mask and core; the vulnerable core is protected by the bark on the outside. It is a metaphor for how different the inner world can be compared to the visible reality.
