 "While Geeta's work is solidly planted in the fine arts world -- of oil on canvas, I see powerful design and layout at work
in her art. The tension of negative and positive space molds and commands the eye as it moves in and around each work. When
viewing the enlargements, squint and see the fluid movement of color, light, dark and shape. Geeta would be just as well at
home in any illustration studio on Madison Avenue! In fact, those designers viewing this art today should spend a few moments
on each -- and get a lesson in visual dynamics! "

"My Invitation"
I have been painting for more than 20 years
now. I have painted on canvas, on paper, on photographs, on wood, on glass, and even on a body!
I have been trained as a painter in the
Delhi School of Art and have had the privilege of working on solo exhibitions across several countries and with several people
in the course of my career.
People come to me and ask : “What
do your paintings mean?”, or “How do I appreciate your art?”. Alas, there is no formula that I am aware
of. The meaning, if any, is within you, the viewer. It’s a function of your own experiences. Often the “meaning”
is wordless. I am reminded of a zen koan –
the zen master keeps filling the cup
of tea for his pupil until it overflows and more. The pupil says, “Stop master.. it is full, it cannot take any more”;
to which the master responds, “Yes, and until you empty it, there would not be any space for more”. So, empty
your self. Take some time and view the work. If there is something which haunts you, look deeply. Maybe there is something
you find -?
The experience, or impact, is what I
attempt to paint. As I experience life in its many forms, there are some moments which leave their own indelible impact on
me. A visual impact, a presence which haunts me until I have exorcised it by putting my brush to the canvas. Each of my works
has its own moment of association and raison d’ętre. I paint to relate my inner self, my space, to this association.
My invitation to my audience is to allow
just that much space to view, or relate to, a canvas so that the painting of a tree isn’t just bark and leaves, so that
the sea isn’t a body of water. Maybe you discover the lushness within the tree, or, perhaps the depth of a soul within
the sea. This may not necessarily be the moment I had in mind when I painted, it may just be your own moment. Perhaps there
is a subliminal association.
Yes, there is always the other way of
appreciation of Art. Is the hand in proportion to the head? Does the face look real? Or surreal? Is the colourscheme appealing?
Is the theme in appealing?… it’s a long list...In fact, I’ve written a series of books on this subject.
But to see only this is to see the form and not the content.
Ever noticed it when you go to a gallery,
view a painting and feel entranced? Why is it that we spend so much time in appreciating that one piece in the entire show?
We say, “This painting strikes me”, without knowing fully why. Perhaps there has been a wordless association of
a memory which has made you relate to the same visual as the artist? This response, when evoked, is my greatest reward as
an artist. That’s when I know that I am successful.
