Ravindra Salve
Ravindra Salve’s work can only be described as
deft, joyous, and colour-saturated. Salve’s work has unrestrained dimensions of
spontaneity and vivacity in capturing the colours, motifs and the
silhouettes of characters. The decorative style, vibrant colours, powerfully
composed figures, miniature style and their very Indian soul make his
paintings an instant source of delight - a traditional Indian style
presented in a very contemporary manner. Salve has great skills of balancing
and controlling various shades of contrasting colours. He is an intelligent and an honest painter.
Intelligent, because he has the formula of using the correct medley of
colours in his paintings. Honest, because he does not pretend to be a
painter who paints for himself and not for money. His art is a lesson on multiple levels - how ecstasy
is conceived in creating a master painting; how a calculative formula can be
skilfully brought into the aesthetics of art and making it contemporary; how
an intervention of each form can sneak in to give way to beautiful yet
prolific works of art. Salve’s imagination has energised the genre of
fantasy art with great passion and at the same time with extreme ease. The
key ingredient of his paintings is happiness. His paintings can be called
‘mythology based’ or ‘invented mythology’. Salve has adopted an altogether
new style by fitting in additional objects and bringing attributes to his
paintings, such as kindness and benevolence, elegance and nobility,
refinement and purity, justice and dharma, grace and majesty, strength and
fertility, and knowledge and power.
