Stay In My Memory - 2 by Debosmita Samanta
An original painting by Debosmita Samanta.
Pertaining the woman's beauty and the moon, a gloomy, dark affirmation, her very desirability, becomes a response to certain practices of imaging, framing, lighting, movement, angle and gaze. She is thus more closely associated with the foreground of the painting than its illusory depths in the background. The painting certainly demands a three-dimensional space corresponding to the picture frame as a mirror, in which the alienated subject internalises the spectator as their own representation of imaginary existence. She is free to command the stage, a stage of spatial illusion of day and night, landscapes, plants, personalised texts in which she articulates the look and creates the action of generational remembrance.
Words by Kaustav Chatterjee.
