Flow dreams Abstract

Anu pours huge amounts of paints on canvas, allowing colours to run free and wild. Colours collide, create streams and passages, new palettes are born; she wields neither brush, nor knife, bringing their flow to a halt by tilting the canvas in various directions, sometimes using her bare hands. It is a physical process where layer by layer she builds up an almost corporeal structure for the abstract painting, thickening the pigments to allow them texture and a physicality that is almost sculptural.

The depth builds resonance and shapes, seen like a kaleidoscope, an evocation of projected images and dreamscapes. There is something trance-like about these imaginings, an other-worldliness that transcends the ordinary and every day. To look upon them is to enter another realm.

“If a painting was a hormone, hers would b e pure testosterone. They stimulate the senses, inflame them. These are works of mighty seduction.”
