Event Description : EXHIBITION "The Essence of Love" Solo painting show by Gaurav Chawla.

In 'Essence of Love' collection, Gaurav sees colours as the source of life for humanity. This is the connection this series seeks to portray. Speaking about the exhibition, Gaurav says, "I think colours are an essential part while expressing joy, happiness  and this I have portrayed through my artworks. The audience will see a burst of colours in every frame and complementing them are expressions as I have visualised while painting. To me painting is a part of meditation and it is essential for me to be one with my canvas when I am in my studio."  

The canvases almost meditative, bathed in colors will draw the audience to reflect on their surroundings and themselves. The artworks reminiscent of love and meditation have vibrant images wrapped around the canvases delicately with a certain ethereal aura round them.  In his own words, Gaurav writes about his process of painting each canvas

"Lost I walked in the crowd,
I walked across the silver desserts under the golden sun,
I ran in blessed rain, passed a thousand seas,
I stopped, and saw the empty skies above
Suddenly there were colors and songs in the atmosphere
In a luminous sunbeam, in a fragrant wind, And then everywhere
The flames that burnt in my heart, have become refreshing springs
The divine Goddess, I always feared to touch had lit a lamp for me"

Gaurav has held more than 40 successful shows of his work across India including the reputed Visual Arts Gallery, AIFACS, India Art Fair, Reorich Museum and Lalit Kala Academy, the hugely talented Gaurav creates gorgeous contemporary art with fine intricately detailed, multi-layered works filled with rich colors and dream-like background with his signature texture and imagery. Gaurav's first commercial outing as an artist began with his series on Indian brides. Inspired by India’s rich cultures and traditions, Gaurav depicted various Indian brides like the Bengali, Gujrati, Rajasthani and more, all with ballpoint pen. The series was widely acclaimed and appreciated by the art world as the experiments that he has done with his debut series were really unique. Since then Gaurav has experimented with many mediums and forms and now found peace with his abstracts. He uses meditation as a tool for creating his works of art. In his studio, he draws upon all the positive energy around him and uses them as the colours, from his palette on to the canvas. For example, the viewer observe while red is often considered as an expression of anger, his hues of red are more towards warm, friendly and positive. He gives credit to this transformation to his meditation and feels he is able to pass all the positive energy from his meditation on to the canvas.
