Lot 0116: ATTR TO JEHANGIR SABAVALA MODERN INDIAN OIL PAINTING

41 reviews

Attributed to Jehangir Sabavala, Indian, French, 1922 to 2011, oil painting on canvas depicting a scene in a landscape, 1986. Signed and dated, lower right. Jehangir Sabavala was an Indian painter. One of Indias most distinguished artist, Sabavala belongs to the first generation of post-colonial Indian painters. As one of the post-colonial Indian painters, Sabavala staked his claim to a modernity of his own while maintaining a close relationship with the currents of international art practice. He has had no patience with the fluctuations of fashion; nor has he permitted such oppressive factors as ideology or political necessity to determine the tenor and direction of his work. Evolving as he has done, Sabavala has remained true to certain lodestars of the imagination. And yet, over the decades, his handling of light and colour, his treatment of surface and structure have changed, at first almost imperceptibly and then to the more visible effect. The hard, aggressively definite and form enclosing line of the early paintings gave way gradually to suffusions of radiance, hinting at the marbled openness, the limitless expanse of the infinite. He is known for Atmospheric, geometric, abstract painting landscape, figure. Modern Indian Fine Art, Abstract and Expressionist Oil Paintings, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
