Paintings on discoloured, old artefacts on display at New Delhi

New Delhi: Reflections of the “old world charm” of broken, out-of-use artefacts, painted onto canvases with shades of earth and rust, are on display at Triveni Kala Sangam here till November 14. The exhibition titled “Unearthly Rust” features 17 paintings by artist Yashpal, who received his art training from Chitrakoot and Gwalior, two cities which, he said, have a rich “heritage and an old, rustic feel”. A striking 2018 “Untitled” work by the Delhi-based artist depicts a vintage, wooden door, with its copper-brown colours dripping in trickles. Several other paintings have faint newspaper prints, muted colours and cracked walls adding to what Yashpal calls his artistic research on old artefacts. (IANS)
