Genesis’ is the beginning of a journey in arena of mixed media. Coal tar, lead, aluminum; have been used in bold abstractions in this series and are Simran’s foremost work mediums. Gauge, mesh, wax, bolts and nails, are the other resources which find a way into the paintings. The inspiration too stands as diverse as the technique, style and materials used in the collection. From animals to beetles to gods to funerals to abstract, the muse varies with each painting. Nothing stops at a single stage with treatment being integral. Each stage is constantly layered and eventually metamorphoses completely as tar blends in with wax, lead, aluminum, gauge, mesh, wax, bolts and nails creating a mélange of abstraction that finally rests in Genesis: The Beginning.
Simran KS Lamba, a self taught artist, plans to take the art world by storm. Conceptualizing and assimilating a new medium.
