Natvar Bhavsar: "The Dimensions of Color"

a

Natvar Bhavsar, PRA-JNAA, 1999, Pigment on canvas, Private Collection

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ.- The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum presents Natvar Bhavsar: The Dimensions of Color, on view through July 22, 2007. This exhibition presents about 50 paintings representing over 35 years of the career of Natvar Bhavsar, one of the most prominent and respected artists of Indian heritage working in the United States. Bhavsar’s art is a fine example of how an artist can incorporate aspects of his traditional artistic culture and methods within modern western styles, modifying and adapting the earlier modes to create hybrid artistic forms. For Bhavsar, the cultural link is his use of brightly colored powdered pigments, similar to those used in the celebrations of the Holi festivals in India. By sprinkling, sifting, and scattering the dry pigments onto prepared canvas and paper surfaces, Bhavsar builds up expanses of intense, lush color. His technique and imagery associated him with the style known as Color Field painting, which emphasizes the visual and emotional potential of pure chromatic effects.
