Yashvant Singh
Yashvant Singh is a contemporary abstract artist heavily influenced by Indian folk and tribal art forms, lines and colors, he has always sought inspiration in Indian traditional and indigenous arts. He sees and understands his disposition in colors to create a composition; in his work he depicts the lust he feels from within, writing in a language which is his very own, a script of the mind, spontaneous with his deepest feelings. Indian tribal and folk art has always been the subject of discussion among us, and yet been neglected in comparison to “modern” art. It has slowly been making its place in the art scene again now, which may be attributed to several talented artists coming forth with a new zest, be it with traditional imagery or contemporary adaptations. He worked with elements from tribal community rituals he witnessed, telling of stories of the ancestors and tales of deities narrated in gatherings, he instinctively began to incorporate them into his visual language.
“I really enjoy the meditative process. Coats of colour, repetition of motifs, I gradually started moving towards classical music and spirituality and the definitive figures started to disappear off the paintings.”
