Art Alive Gallery brings to you Paresh Maity: Luminous Terrains. Paresh Maity, as an artist, has been an avid traveler for decades. Experiencing and absorbing the varied intensities of light across geographies, he has always returned to his canvas where his inspirations found refuge in a unique visual language characterized by vivid colours that not only captured the landscape of a place but its true essence. Luminous Terrains brings together a significant body of these landscape works by Paresh Maity, shaped by decades of travel, observation, and reflection. Spanning locations from the Mahakumbh and Varanasi to Rajasthan, Kashmir, Maihar, Venice, and the South of France, the exhibition reflects the artist’s sustained engagement with landscape over time. In Luminous Terrains, Maity pays an ode to Claude Monet and Edouard Manet, to Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Auguste-Renoir and Camille Pissarro, not borrowing but building on their foundations to offer in these suites of paintings an Indian interpretation and likely conclusion of light and colour. The light is different in his Venice paintings and those of the South of France, milder, crisper, clearer, almost translucent. The Indian series has more intensity, light filtered through dust, becoming almost tangible, something to be felt and not just seen. This exhibition draws on seven sites that have a special resonance with the artist. The artist works across different mediums to capture atmosphere, light, and memory, creating compositions that combine structure with a sense of spontaneity. Elements such as architecture, rivers, sky, and horizons dissolve into fields of color and gesture. The resulting landscapes are inspired by real locations but are ultimately shaped by personal experiences and reflections. Across these varied terrains, light serves as a connecting thread. Through his art, he allows the viewer to engage intimately, move through the spaces, and reflect on the emotions they evoke.
