The
magical mysticism, the riveting riverbanks, the vast sea of humanity, Paramesh
Paul infuses his works with a volatile energy that sees the City of Light
shining bright, both physically and metaphorically. Worshippers taking dip in
the river, the multitudes of small temples, the steps, the sadhus, the kamadul,
the chhatris, the vatvruksha, the Nandi and the narrow streets teeming with
life, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Girija Devi, of Benaras Gharana who have become
synonymous with the embodiment of the spirit of Varanasi come to life on his
canvas.
Painting,
for Paramesh Paul, is a spiritual practice, an act of conscious, creative
alignment with the Supreme. As one delves deeper into the paintings, one
experiences a harmonious rhythm of life imbued with the feeling of
transcendence, balance, and oneness with the whole of creation.
And
this feeling was echoed by celebrities Mahima Chaudhary and Gracy Singh when
they visited his exhibition at Nehru Centre Art Gallery to inaugurate the same.
“I am in Benaras,” said Mahima Chaudhary. “The paintings transport you to the
land of the Ganges. Paramesh Paul’s works are simply amazing.”
Added
Gracy Singh, “the positivity in Paramesh Paul’s paintings is amazing. I have
never been to Benaras but I feel I am there. His works have such an aura.”
Besides
Mahima Chaudahry and Gracy Singh, painters of the likes of Padmanabh Bendre,
Gautam Patole, Vishwa Sahni, Gautam Mukherjee, Amisha Mehta, Varsha Vyas, Rakhi
Baid, Ananya Banerji, Madhumita Bhattacharya, Daxa Khandwala, Raaamji Sharma,
Sonu Gupta, and Sanjukta Barik, art connoisseur Ajoykant Ruia, social activist
and philanthropist Aneel Murarka, filmmaker Anusha Srinivasan Iyer among others
attended the exhibition.
