REENA SURI N HER GREAT ABSTRACT PAINTING

Reena Suri is a self taught artist. However, her leanings in the art world go back to her days of textile designing at International Polytechnic, New Delhi. It is perhaps that understanding of the weave of the fabric which defines its texture that remains within her sub-conscious.

Her works too are a beginning of textures-though they unravel the mood of the seasons outside her studio at her idyllic home at Vasant Kunj Farms. Abstraction for her is a journey, one that echoes the nuances of the play and essence of sunlight whether it be `subbah' or `sandhya'.

Abstract Gardens:

Jackson Pollock put it best once, in the New Yorker, "Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. A reviewer wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. That was a fine compliment, although he didn't know it."

Reena Suri the self taught artist has been working quietly for the past 3 years, on abstract geometrical colour constructions, carrying her ideas into three dimensional spaces and beyond. These works are visual thinking at its abstract best. Subtly fusing structural transcendence and pure colour sensation, she gives us a fresh, lively sense of the sublimity of colour. 
 
Her works are intimately rooted, as it were --in her own environs and life, what ensues is a free-spirited, expressive mooring, in which every shade is instinctively created, down to the detail of its effective resonance. Colour then has once again become enigmatic and exuberant in these works. Reena is quite conscious of what she is doing and what her work is about but she is not able to explain in terms of the rationale or the radical. For her it is just a spontaneous outpouring.
