IndianArtCollectors.com this month features an entirely different concept by Mr. Suresh Gulage: An artist who chose the less followed path and made Architectural Landscapes as his trademark work.
December 2, 2011: Suresh Gulage is a well known name when it comes to giving life to speechless buildings.“Buildings may be mute spectators, but they hold the life of a city” says the artist that defines his ability to observe life. His work would be exclusively available for sale in exhibition section of IndianArtCollectors.com.
Through brushwork and hues, Suresh highlight the beauty of buildings by recreating these marvels using a vibrant colour palette and technique that oscillates between being in-the-face to subtle and suggestive, both instances replete with the exquisiteness of the built form. Suresh Gulage loves the light play and the way the same light illuminates different parts of the building in different ways. His work is highly inspired by the effect that lights, colours, motifs, seasons and day times play on a building making it appear different at varied instances.
A post Graduate in Art, this painter to created his own identity during the early phase of his career. “There are so many artists who paint landscapes, portraits, abstract, there are very few who really paint architectural landscapes. “I wanted to make a name in this genre and I think I have achieved that” says Suresh proclaiming his success without hesitation but without sounding pompous or egoistic.
