V.V.SWAMY - ARTIST FROM INDIA

With the advent of Internet, the Universe has become a Global Village. Be it urban or rural, Information communication technologies such as Internet, Cell Phones, I-Pods, Computers etc. have dominated the scene. Today, more than 70% of the population world over in both rural and urban areas use Cell Phones for faster communication. Capturing the idea, Sri V.V. Swamy has depicted the use of electronic communication technologies in a recent series of his paintings.

Born in a tiny village of Andhra Pradesh, Sri V.V.Swamy (presently lives and works in Hyderabad) composes visual effects never seen before as he masterfully uses oil colors in an unique way. Color and texture explode on the canvas, while compositions bring rhythm and balance to the visual effect. What makes his works so captivating is, the way Sri Swamy merges the realms of the representational creating images shimmering with life. Thereby, results are stunning and forceful images emerge that speak out innermost depth, conveying a message of energy and of hope.

For Swamy, the canvas is a space of free expression, where colors, shapes and texture merges giving birth to recognizable forms situated in pictorial compositions. This allows viewers to relate to the facial forms no matter of their background. The figures all but fill the picture planes, and close-ups of faces allow the audience the opportunity to access facial expressions and feel the tension or quiet comfort that exists within them at any given moment. Sri Swamy creates powerful human forms that give life to a myriad of aspects of the human condition. His masterly use of color enhances these expressionistic images while the edgy compositions draw attention to the inner feelings experienced within the human self. His paintings reflects the human emotions that cross all boundaries and identities, including sorrow, grief, pain and suffering, but also love and a desire for peace.

In his artistic statement, Sri Swamy maintains “Painting, is my view, is an evocative expression of the inner vision of an Artist influenced by the environment. When the creative bug bites, it awakes the inner urge which never allows me to be complacent. Unknown frontiers of form, colour and line emerge for giving the painting a unique from.
