Stay In My Memory - 1 by Debosmita Samanta
An original painting by Debosmita Samanta.
Again, this is a mode of representation directed both by the artist and the spectator: she (the central woman figure) is on display for both of them. This work interplays between the generational remembrance and potential fantasy. Spectator would come close to find a glimpse of satisfaction: through its formal beauty and its play on her own formative luminous obsessions. Her beauty is overwhelming, standing firmly, often pictured in huge close-ups amidst a transforming landscape, seems to be the home, entering or leaving. The whole visual space is so perfectly connected to the paths, associated objects, events that the threat of loss or gain is dismissed as she is turned into a reassuring figure in an intimate relation to the artist and the spectator.
Words by Kaustav Chatterjee.
This artwork was on view as part of Debosmita's first solo exhibition, Bariwali, held at Method Kala Ghoda (November 2024).
