Description
Tempestuous is an acrylic on canvas painting and it was done as part of a series on color studies in my studio. Tempestuous is an abstract painting in yellow ochre, lemon yellow, raw umber. I just like the movement in the painting and initially I was going to call it tempest but the attitude of the painting is tempestuous to me! It may be clouds are moving and the setting sun is casting a golden hue on them, but the winds are causing a tempest. It's almost like the clouds are playing with the wind and the resulting tempestuous relationship of the wind and the clouds is captured in this painting.
Gerhardt Richter and Henri Matisse are painters I am studying right now. I am also interested in studying the role of textures in paintings. For this I look to the works of Anselm Kiefer and Vincent Van Gogh. Color in paintings and art is very important to me and for these I look to the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian and Rothko. I am also interested in the study of color and the emotions they generate in people; and also the act of painting itself as a conduit to focus and possibly heal people. I strongly believe that color has a positive effect on the general health and well being of individuals. Associations of the impact of art on the health of individuals abound. The quantitative effects of the color in art can be studied by utilizing the recent advances in measuring the response of various stimuli to a human. So why not color?
I've designed a simple 20 question questionnaire so I can begin to collect data regarding color and my hypothesis that "Color induces synesthesia and creates feelings of joy." Please feel free to fill the survey and turn it in. The benefit for you would be a chance to be entered into the drawing of one of my original paintings and I get to study the effect of color in art on the general population! Win win for everybody!
Kandinsky has famously said and I quote, "Color is a power which directly influences the soul. Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power, still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body."
I submit it is time to study this unknown effect of color on the human body.
Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research. I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017. This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator. It is run by highly competent scientists and physician's who I have personally met. They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime and I agree. Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in the 1960's was 3%, the year I was born. Today it is 94%. The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap. I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer. We are losing many more as we speak whose life has been cut short by these dreadful diseases. As I write this just within the last week we have lost two of the greats - Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor to this deadly disease and they have been taken from us much too soon. Every life therefore is precious. It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries. We are the product of such discoveries. We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us. I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was young bright eyed and an enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours of the day in research. So I ask unabashedly for these scholars who toil to find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
Dr. Lou DeGennaro said and I quote "Its our job to cure blood cancer and put the society out of business."
