Pavan Kumar Attavar
The recent work of a talented artist from Mangalore, Pavan Kumar Attavar, will be displayed in a solo art show at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from 10th to 16th September 2024, between 11 am and 7 pm. It will be there for free public viewing. This series in Acrylic colours on canvas will exemplify his thoughtful perceptions about the relevance and sanctity of musical instruments in general and violin in particular for spreading the eternal grandeur and harmony of music among the masses and, in turn, making them happy and joyful. He has made artistic use of pallet knife and acrylic colours on canvas for his paintings.
Pavan Kumar Attavar hails from Mangalore. He has his art education up to BFA from University College of Fine Arts, Davangere, followed by a diploma in Advanced Computer Art from C-DAC Pune. He is at present working in Synamedia Ltd. (UK based entertainment streaming company) at Manipal in its UI-UX design team.
He has got inspiration from Dali (surrealism), Van Gough (Brush strokes) and Rembrandt (Light and Shade). He has showcased his thematic works earlier in many solo and group art exhibitions in different art galleries and got positive feedback from the art world. He has participated in several art camps in the state. He is an active member of the Artists Forum Udupi.
The Series presented by Pavan Kumar Attavar elaborates on the relevance and sanctity of white space or highlights and dark areas or depth. Having been greatly influenced by high notes and low notes in Music and their effect on the listeners and all alike, he has incorporated the same inspiration from music in his artwork using apt colour tones and their rhythmic harmony. His work prominently highlights the Violin in particular, along with other instruments like Damru and Trident and their tonal resonance in order to spread the fragrance and rhythm of music among masses.
Making an optimum and iconic use of bull and other relevant ingredients at strategic arenas in the work, he has demonstrated his skill and command over the medium used in order to render ample contentment and divine tranquillity to all. Using the mythological background, he has focussed on the sanctity and relevance of both vibrations and resilience as well as tranquillity in the divine music-aptly called the 5thVed or Pancham Veda to make the overall humanity happy and exhilarating as well as joyful in the apt perspectives of visual arts.
