Abstractionism in Kancha Kumar Karmacharya's Paintings: Presentation of Visual Rhythm and Music

Abstract

This research work explores the issue of abstractionism in the selected paintings of Kanchha Kumar Karmacharya and proves that each painting carry rhythm and music in abstract form. These rhythm and music are associated with nature, human predicament and meditation. The research work has employed abstractionism as a tool to analyze his paintings. The spontaneous and stream-like application of colors, the sketches of pencil and brush and the merger of the forms of figure with the formless patches, though not realistic, create the complex form of the images thereby enabling the painter to show different melody. This research work contributes significantly in the terrain of critical concern and academia as a base for the further exploration of the issue by bringing in to light the politics of the painter in employing Abstractionism in his painting.
