Artist Yashwant Deshmukh Invites Contemplation

NEW DELHI, (IANS) – Mumbai-based Yashwant Deshmukh is a contemporary Indian artist known for his contemplative style depicting the lack of movement or the stillness of space.

His abstract and meditative style heavily relies on symbolism and functions as a bridge between the material and the spiritual. The artist invites viewers into a world of otherworldly serenity. In this realm, the boundaries between form and space dissolve, and objects take on a mystical significance as conduits for metaphysical exploration.

Everyday objects become the lead actors in a tranquil dance, melding their outlines with the boundless void of negative space. Every stroke of the brush is a meditation, every coat of paint a hushed secret, as Deshmukh unravels the enigma of stillness.

The artist said, “In my work over the last two decades, I have explored the interrelation between form and space. My visual language constitutes a deeply layered palette composed of objects that are often considered mundane, rendered in speculative forms that capture their visual patterns, ambiance, and atmosphere.”
