Cosmic Play 9, 12 and 13 Triptych. From The Cosmic Play Series, 2024

Neerja Chandna Peters  

Neerja Chandna Peters enjoys navigating harmony through the play of lines with their symmetrical synchrony and rhythmic interplay, manipulating the nuances, their saturation and their values, thus creating a subtle movement of optics with their variable refrangibility.

In her compositions, lines and light are not mere aesthetic choices, but act as conduits that lead the viewer into a space of stillness and contemplation. Over time, the artist has come to understand that clarity often lies in reduction. A single color or the movement of a line can evoke a deep resonance when approached with intention.

This practice is as much about process as it is about outcome. It is about finding balance, not just on the canvas, but within. The act of creating becomes a reflection of this alignment, a moment when the finite touches the infinite, and the work itself becomes an offering.

This artwork, a triptych of striking minimalism, employs geometric precision and a restrained color palette to create a compelling visual experience. Each panel juxtaposes bold red geometric shapes against a subdued, textured gray background, creating a stark contrast that captivates the eye. The first panel features scattered rectangles, evoking a sense of dynamic movement. The middle panel presents a large red circle balanced by a series of smaller circles, suggesting harmony and rhythm. The final panel combines a red triangle and circle, exploring themes of balance and duality. The artwork's simplicity belies its complexity, inviting contemplation of form and space. With its bold yet austere presentation, this piece challenges traditional perceptions, embodying a nuanced exploration of geometric abstraction.
