Yolanda Sousi Kammermeier has a
B.F.A. University of Bombay. Yolanda's style of creating a ceramic like effect
on canvas has caught the imagination of many. The relief and high gloss which
has become the trade mark of her work has one intrigued and reaching out
to feel the texture, to determine the medium. Her works are in collections
in India and abroad.
Curator's Advice:
Stroke emphasizes itself into an
evocative colour frame effectively inflected. It is more graphic than pictorial.
The work is a complex group of symbols and symbolisms put together with studied
order.
These conflicting meanings surround
the human face; they cover it, they pierce it, they distort it, they turn
it into an icon that look fastened at the audience. His expression is unaccented
without any emotive fit. It seems to be empty, without his own will. It seems
that this meanings deprive the human being of his own identity and
essence.
Symbols that everyone can recognize,
they recall different ideologies or dogmas or aesthetical or ethical values.
They are religion, politics, work, evil, art, and so on. Human being is between
the balances of these contents. In spite he made everyone of those he is
overwhelmed and he identifies himself with them and he looses his unique
prerogative to be master of his own's destiny.
The superman fades away into a
babele of directions and weltanshauung. It not simple to remain impartial.
Maybe only God, if existing, could dare so much. So that face could be just
the one of God; but a careless God. a god who is far and indifferent. We
have to exercise the free will and face the balance that will weigh our soul.
That balance is painted high and right with the ancient symbol of sun. |
