Slip into the serene, meditative silence of contemporary artist Meghana Kishore’s all-absorbing abstract works
In a world of overwhelming chaos and nonstop stimulation, KYNKYNY’s latest exhibition offers a quiet reprieve – a space to slow down and still ourselves. ‘Pause’ by contemporary artist Meghana Kishore is the visual equivalent of a deep breath or a serene silence. Abstract acrylics on canvas map luminous terrains that evoke feelings of peace, calm and solace. Like a meditative experience, they have the effect of lifting us out of the immediate environment and taking us elsewhere.

The artworks draw you into an abstract wilderness of colour, sensation, texture and light. Beyond the lens of language, form and identity, the non-figurative works portray enigmatic feelings that can only be intuited and felt. Their fluid nature is achieved by pouring large amounts of watered down paint onto the canvas. Meghana then lets it take its own shape and form. “After all – in life – we only have limited control. For the rest, we need to let things take its course. Peaks and troughs make us what we are today and continue to do so for time to come,” the artist says, explaining the philosophy behind her flowing art. She also nudges and moves the paint in particular directions to create a composition. Each abstract image is made up of multiple layers using this process till it achieves balance and completion.

Organic, amorphous shapes and muslin-thin mists float and shift across the expansive canvas. The colour palette is both earthy and etheric. Browns, blacks, white and blues, resemble elemental forces and nature. The natural world, travel and the inner landscape of emotions and memories inspire Meghana’s works. The abstract haiku-like titles further add a subtle sense of context and reveal more about her vision
