Nirmalavasan’s “White”
White represents purity. White represents peace. But the
meaning of Nirmalavasan’s “White” is different. The series of “White” paintings
of Nirmalavasan creates terrible feeling of losing belongings attached to us.
Layers and layers of paints applied and washed on the canvas
conceal the figures, real nature and real surface of the painting. White
engulfs the realistic nature of the painting and transforms it into an
impressionistic one.
This creates a state of mind that we lost things important
to us from the memory in a splash of time and makes us to stir up to get it
back into our memory.
The magic hand and mind of Nirmalavasan makes our mind to
blow and transforms us to listen to ourselves.
