  • Paresh Maity
    O N L I N E TRUNK SHOW 16 September -15 October 2020 A Capsule Collection of 9 Artworks PARESH MAITY Hope Paresh Maity has returned, in his recent series of nine aquarelles, titled ‘Hope’, to an early and memorable phase of his career when he produced lambent waterscapes redolent of Bengal’s Ganga delta. Dominated by dramatically illuminated skies, his recent waterscapes are punctuated by occasional sailboats, isolated signs of the human presence in nature’s grand theatre of wind, cloud, and wave. These scenes, reminiscent of fraught moments of pause or passage in the cinema of Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak, stir us deeply. Maity presents the clouds as dunes and the overcast sky as an upward tilting beach. Or might the sky be a tide coming in, dissolving the horizon? The moody sea shimmers past dreaming trees or surges up in mountains of water. Against storm and current, the sailboats hold out, vulnerable yet defiant. Ranjit Hoskote Hope - 1 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 2 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 3 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 4 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 5 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 6 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 7 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 8 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Hope - 9 watercolour on paper 12” x 12”, 2020 Paresh Maity (born Tamluk, 1965) is strongly associated with his paintings, rendered in a distinctive palette of shadowed yellows, vivid greens and burnished brown tones.
