I painted a paradise of flowers divine
"The sun shone in between, and all the little white flowers sparkled. … I went on painting at the risk of seeing the whole show on the field at any time – it is effect of a white with a good dose of it in yellow and blue and lilac, sky blue and white. "
Letter to Theo van Gogh, c.11 April 1888 by Vincent Van Gogh
The intensity, the poetic and the singularity of the joy that Van Gogh has brought the art of painting flowers is unsurpassed in the annals of art history. In terms of prices adjusted Van Gogh remains the highest price artist for her paintings of flowers. His "Irises" have been issued to over 100 million dollars (adjusted) and "Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers' for more than 75 million dollars (after adjustment).
Before Van Gogh painting of flowers was part of Still Life painting tradition. But he has changed all that. A man who has painted seriously only two years of his life has changed our way of looking at flowers and sunflowers especially.
Other artists who liked to painting flowers on behalf of American Georgia O'Keeffe is on top. Matisse painted flowers largely style decorativ artistic side. Its flowers bear the dimensionality two dishes, but are saturated by pure tradition of tawny color.
True to his style Pop Art Andy Warhol painted flowers as portfolios silk screen color reminding flat surfaces about the unreality of "representation".
Artist friend Baljit S. Chadha had a honeymoon with lasting flowers in her artistic expression. He painted a few times with the frugality of a Zen master. I can understand that, as he had his training early painting in Japan, where he lived and studied in adolescence and took advantage of the tutelage of the great Japanese masters. But its present flower series me speechless with wonder and joy. He now works in a new dimension and a new personality with flowers I have not seen before. Because he has distilled the expression of inner joy and happiness that is the essence of flowers itself and not from their shapes.
Its flowers have a nearly expressionistic abstract persona. He uses a watercolor as the free movement of color and tones to invest his work with a sensual poetry. His works are acrylic on paper and therefore lend themselves to overflows idiosyncratic which gives a fresh spell of his work.
Another milestone in the quality of new works Baljit is that they are rendered in bright fire glazes. As we know glazes are traditionally performed in an environment of oil painting. But Baljit has worked with acrylic colors and without the use Pure pulp. Colors diluted with water and float kiss and still lustrous intensity.
Baljit Chadha has created style building costs and jumps creative expression of the visible familiar feel spiritually divine paradise flowers.
