Rangashree's Art Gallery

Art from Life

My art is a map of my life. I express myself in response to the world around me in lines and color.

Acrylics & Mixed Media

Broad brushstrokes on large canvasses filled with swathes of vibrant colors. Layering textures using a variety of tools beyond brushes. Big feelings expressed larger than life.

Digital Art printed on Canvas

Finger painting on the mobile screen using apps like sketchbook and now Procreate on the iPad. Electric colors and strokes created with the varying pressures of the index finger. Minimal use of app tools and layers. I treat the screen as a physical surface. Printed on large canvasses without losing tonality and stroke quality is my forte.

Observers

56”x50” Mounted Canvas

An observation of society – there are always two sides to a story. Each person’s point of view is different. In today’s world narratives shape the story and history. An honest, open approach is the only way to build a healthy future.
The figures and forms with large open eyes are inspired by rustic imagery of deities especially in the temples found in the Himalayan ranges where often deities are represented on large rock faces.
The vibrant, warm hues layered over one another evoke a certain feeling of hope.
