About VINAYAK GODBOLE
vinayak godbole
I began my artistic career by painting portraits for commission. I studied portrait and landscape painting under the tutelage of a well-known painter.
I studied the works of painters like Rothko, Hans Hoffman, Nicolas de Stael, and Wolf Kahn.
I've always wondered why people like or feels happiness when they see a certain painting. Curiosity led me to notions such as the relationship between emotions and colors.
My studies enabled me to produce my artwork in a way that would passively elicit pleasant feelings. My compositions tend to be passive in appearance and help viewers enter a parasympathetic state gradually. I often use "landscape" based composition and minimize the impact of "form".
I've participated in a few galleries and shows in south Atlanta areas including Newnan, Peachtree City, and Serenbe in recent years.
In the past, I've participated in art exhibitions at Bombay, India's National Center for Performing Arts, Mood Indigo, and other venues.
I work in a 1000 sq-ft studio space and like to work in oil and acrylics on small and large canvases.
