A COSMOS IN PROCESS

At only few moments Vipul’s canvases are static, and even then they are scintillant like the spread out, full wing-span of the peacock. The orbs on crisp feathers refulgent like suns.

But, and in general, here is an unresting genre, in ceaseless self-evolving movement. At moments cataclysmic like the rushing away galaxies, or then colliding in conflagration like a fall of untold number of incandescent comets, setting the sky ablaze ! Well, this is how it goes. At the least here is work which does not let us sink  into sleep. No tedium in it. Perhaps such is the painter’s basic temperament.

Volatile, and in search of some magnum moment. This should be all to the good,  in a largely somnolent ethos.

The rhythmic law of constructive counterpoint is contained in this order of creativity. It sets into motion life itself, through a brisk rhythmic display between harmonies and the rich contrasts of colours and forms. This makes the work attraction prone. Vipul, through concentration on sundry aesthetic matters, paints what is really close to his pulse. He would seem to react purely intuitively to all the surrounding influences. He is thereby gifted with a subtle enough sensibility, for his inspiration stems from the maternal sphere alone. It is for this reason his work renews itself with a wealth of variations. The select of his compositions thus are certainly alive, and likely to throw up fresh mutations in time to come.
