As one ventures into the canvases of Vivek Nimbolkar – each of his creations bloom with the scent of fresh possibility. Akin to the natural geometry found in nature, Vivek creates not just with the intent of imitation, but also intuitive experimentalism. Reflecting influences of Raza, G.R. Santhosh and even J. Swaminathan, the compositions carry a soft but sure boldness.
Born in 1977, Vivek Nimbolkar grew up in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Despite his urbane surroundings, Nimbolkar took to art through the influence of his mother’s embroidery. He also reflected upon natural forms as opposed to the towering buildings of the city. With A Masters in Art (Painting), Diploma in Art Education and Masters of Art (Indology), it is no surprise that the artist’s creative depth is so easy to dive into.
Drawing from his early inspirations and realistic sketches of his surroundings – Vivek’s current series offers both the simplicity and complexity of nature. The forms are lucid, creating a sharp focus and tight composition – but remain enigmatic in their interpretation. The fluid abstraction evokes the artist’s early sparks of ingeniousness as we relate them to the expressionist genre. The strokes are rife with emotion and nostalgia, immersing us into the waves of serenity that emanate from the canvas.
