SUCHI CHIDAMBARAM Suchi Chidambaram who has her family roots in Southern India shifted her base to London in 1998 where she is based now. Primarily a self taught artist she paints in oil on canvas. Her imagery offers views of the cities, people, and architecture that she has travelled through. It absorbs stories that she comes across and the experiences she encounters. The compositions are not painted in situ, but triggered by her memory of the places, often driven by emotions as they capture the underlined mood and the narrative. She uses palette knife besides brushes for her thick impressionistic textured strokes to reveal the rhythm and movement of the people and the places, shifting between abstract and figurative forms. Her work has been part of shows held in India and in Europe from where it has found its way into private and corporate collections. Suchi lives and works in London.
VINITA KARIM Vinita Karim born 1962, studied Science and Business Administration in Sweden before taking up a course in Fine Arts at the University in Philippines. This multinational expose, work experience and travels through Asia, the Middle East and Europe gets reflected in her gilt-leafed canvases that are set amidst un-named lands and life/s, some real others imagined. Sans any physical human presence, her colourful compositions breathe meaning and life. The layered work seems to rotate around life lines of waters, in cities with significant sea histories and geographies. Vinita is a prolific artist whose work has been exhibited in 23 solo exhibitions and many more group shows in India and internationally, including the art fairs held in Delhi, Dubai, Dhaka, Canada and other parts of the globe from where it has been picked up by discerning collectors. The artist lives and works between Delhi and Dhaka or wherever her travels take her. Sushma K.
