About the Artist

Vasant Dora paints spontaneously and fluidly, letting each stroke of the brush or knife give direction to the next stroke until a train of thoughts emerge on the canvas. At times these visual thoughts may be in harmony and at times in conflict. In each art work a single abstract idea yields multiple journeys for the artist that are neither in confrontation nor in complete consonance with the content. Of late in his paintings like the “ Dawn “ or the series on “Aks “ meaning reflections he opens “ windows “ for the viewers, to participate and weave their own stories.

Dora creates paintings like “ Amaltaas - 1" and “ Deconstructed Form – 1" , by allowing emotion guide his hand. Often in his art work figurative content is subtly present in Dora’s abstract composition.
