Your precious love Painting

acrylic paint on paper Your precious love: the painting says it all really. Often words can become overused, tired, even hackneyed – and a different form of communication can not only refresh the words, but most importantly, lend a new dimension to what was initially expressed. This arguably alchemical transmutation is a major element of Darukhanawala’s unusual contribution. Its beauty is that it can be regarded and enjoyed alongside the music – or separate of it. Like Darukhanawala’s art, one can take it or leave it. This element of choice is really important to this artist, who has never shied away from others’ criticisms: ‘Any art that everyone likes is most likely going to descend into the bland. When someone is left by cold by something I paint or make, I don’t mind – as long as there are a few who get it, who make the effort to communicate with the works.’ Dimensions above include frame (unframed: 148 x 105 mm.)
