ROSEBUD EBENEZER

My recent acrylic on canvas series ‘New York’ is my rumination over my New York City life. 
Born and raised in a very quite countryside of South India, I moved to New York few years ago. The concrete jungle that New York is famous for baffled my senses at first and later I started seeing the quintessential abstract and geometrical patterns that was hiding behind the physical facade of the city.

Abstraction to me is the essence of my innermost feelings that stand with color and form. The subtle forms in my work hold a physical presence of the cityscape yet truly an inner manifestation of my own self of the objective exterior. I prefer to make sketches from my walk in Manhattan and other high-rises around Brooklyn area then transfer them on to my canvas to convert them as my personal images.

The bright colors that are characteristic of my palette help me bath in vivid shades till I complete a work. I move to and fro between delicate color variations and intense shades until the form and the color converge to become a unique whole.
