ADITYA DEV

Different times require different images. Today when our aspirations have been reduced to a desperate attempt to escape from evil, and times are out of joint, our obsessive, subterranean and pictographic images are the expression of the neurosis which is our reality. To Aditya’s mind certain so-called abstraction is not abstraction at all. On the contrary, it is the realism of our time. He is recognized for the purity of his abstractions and methodical practice by which he arrives at them. He radically simplifies the elements of his paintings to reflect what he sees as the spiritual order underlying the visible world, creating a clear, universal aesthetic language within his canvases. 

He draws images and materials from many diverse sources, discretely arranging each image in individual compartments on the canvas. Without a clear syntax or narrative, Aditya intends for the arrangement of the images and their meaning to communicate and connect with an idea or feeling that already resides within the viewer. The goal of his works are to use the simplest form in order to convey the complexity of life, exploring the emotional effects of colors and of space directly on the canvas.
