THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Bright floral colours spread out on canvas sums up the ongoing art exhibition at the Alliance Francaise art gallery in the city. ‘Hues of Revival’ by Sheeba Manghat showcases artworks celebrating nature and flora.
From plain white to bright flaming red, flowers are the subject of her paintings. Flowers of various shapes and a variety of colours come alive on canvas in the artist’s second solo exhibition since 2010. Shades of bright colours came together forming beautiful flowers through her acrylic paintings, with the artist bringing alive the floral world of her fancy. A particular work which grabs attention is a painting of bright yellow flower petals seeming to dance gently in the breeze. The bright yellow petals seem so brilliant,in its beautiful and bright flaming red background that it looks alive. Another work featured a group of flowers, looking similar to marigolds, in yellowish red hue of colours.
The collection of around 30 paintings by the artist also includes a series of works as well as independent ones.
Elaborating that she has always found flowers attractive, Sheeba adds that she feels painting them lets her get in touch with her creative and spiritual side. Stating that she loves adding elements of imagination to her works, the artist says, “I have positioned flowers, as per my fancy.”
