Unveiling - new works by Manish Pushkale

In this significant body of work, Manish continues his search for luminosity. The pattern could derived as a chanced discovery or a meticulous construction. He is in constant search of colours. He hardly ever allows the colours of the tubes to exist in their original hues. He puts a layer of colour and rubs it off taking care that it does not disappear altogether. Each layer gives way to the next, while care is taken that they are always mixing. Eventually we arrive at an unidentifiable and unusual texture of colour, unidentifiable by any conventional name. Colours are not instruments of statement or narration; they are elements that come together in a communion under the ever-watchful eye of the painter creating a vibrant space. Here, they exist autonomously for and in themselves resisting the imposition of discursive meanings.
Pushkale works hard and painstakingly on his canvases to discover a colour, hue or shade, even a new texture as he pursues the relentless aesthetics of abstraction. In his art, the act of painting is simultaneously also a process of meditating, both formally and spiritually. Mark Rothko said, 'It is the misfortune of free conscience that it cannot be neglectful of means in pursuit of ends.' Manish, while acknowledging this truth, would perhaps insist that there are no ends other than the means themselves.
