INSIDE OUTSIDE

Apurba Salui

Asansol, India

The series 'INSIDE OUTSIDE' (2017-2018) is based on the idea of incorporating

interior and architectural spaces where I contemplate, meditate and anticipate my

quotidian attachments and daily activities. I produce my images under shades of both

surrealist and minimalist expressions, where a continuous tension between void

and concreteness reinforce the spatial-temporal.

Experimenting with different mediums allows me to build different kinds of spaces.

Applying colors through multiple techniques, like adding, removing, dripping, rubbing,

scratching and layering, with materials like watercolor, charcoal, pastel etc. are an essential

part of my work. Through this process I involve myself with the work in a physical way.

The INSIDE OUTSIDE series is being developed with these kinds of works. Dealing with different kind of spaces allows me to arrange or rearrange sometime various spaces. Here space means not only the space of interior or outdoor space but also I mean object as space. In this work, multiple space handling is the prime concern for me by re-establishing or rearranging them as a mode of space. This painting also carries the essence of inside-outside where the viewer can move from outside to inside and the same time inside to outside as well.
