Nostalgia Of Indian Steam Locomotives 31 Painting

What/who inspired the work? Well, The "Nostalgic" itself always is an emotional memories of our early days of life, which we never forget, which is always being with us. That exciting memories always feel us happy… and make us sentimental… …Same happened with me. I never forget those memories of my early days. Where, I used to spend time with the locomotives. Day by day I was running to the locomotives. Still now, I remember fun of steams coming out from engine, I love the sound of whistling “…Choo… Choo… Choo…” Those were most happiest day in my life… Those memories are always recalled, and influenced me to do the series of canvas on the steam locomotives … That’s the story behind the TITLE of the show “Nostalgia of Indian Steam Locomotives”. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? In India presently there is no Steam Locomotive around us. You might be seen in the museum or other places as antic. My idea is to percent those locomotives to the new generation through this exhibition. My objective is to percent those locomotives to the new generation through this show. The massage is very simple; please come “Watch it, Feel it, believe it from your insight” …You fall in love of Steam Locomotives… Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? The technique & style is very simple, this is an acrylic painting on canvas. Here, I try to use the method of color perspective and contrast of lighting in all over the composition. Mostly I use the monotonic color palate like; Sepia, Gray and Black & White. Just because of the paintings are looking more of oldies. This is an style of impressionistic in my painting. I try to portray the ambiance of the steam locomotive in 60's and 70’s.
