Remembrances of Voices Past

Threshold Art Gallery is privileged to present “Voices of
Remembrances Past”, a collection of significant paintings
by V. Ramesh spanning the last ten years at the National
Gallery of Modern Art, Bangalore. This show comes as a
firm endorsement of our belief in one of the more remarkable
artists to have emerged in India in the recent past.
V. Ramesh articulates abstract ideas of faith, devotion and
metaphysics much like a musician explores ragas, creating
through paint and canvas compositions that are at the
same time ephemeral and densely layered in meanings and
metaphors. Each series comes from extensive research and
scholarship, resonating ancient texts and myths.
Art that is received and appreciated by us and art that we
are moved by is validated by V. Ramesh’s oils on canvas; his
images, drawn from a repository of cultural and philosophical
traditions, are yet deeply personal and accessible even as
they serve as documenters and influencers of an age.
