Luminance and Harmony, Diptych. Works on paper, 2022

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 features a striking diptych of geometric abstraction. Each panel is a masterful interplay of triangular forms and vibrant hues. The left canvas displays a sophisticated palette of earth tones, interspersed with sharp, energetic accents of red and blue, creating a dynamic focal point within the symmetrical design. On the right, the composition shifts to cooler, serene blues and grays, contrasted by bold reds and whites, delivering a sense of harmony and balance. The sharp lines and precise angles exhibit meticulous craftsmanship, while the symmetry infuses the work with a captivating sense of order and rhythm. This artwork uniquely marries complexity with simplicity, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of color and form. The juxtaposition of warm and cool tones across the panels offers a compelling visual dialogue, underscoring the artist's adept manipulation of geometric abstraction.
