Satish Chandra

Known as the Master of Atmospherics, Satish Chandra lures the sleeping earth into springing up in fire- smouldering orange soil sears into autumn bushes, which themselves spread into tree bursts, the viridian tinged with bronze where the autumn light catches it. He paints trees that live, breathe and sway in the breeze. They show a season, a mood, a state of things. We see a storm a bare autumn, monsoon and winter. Sometimes they burst into magical spring, filling us with joy. The vertical lines of the trees seem to connect the earth below to the heaven above. ‘I seek form through colour and find a peculiar fascination for grey, green, yellow, red and orange… “, said the artist. He is a graduate in Fine Arts, from College of Arts & Crafts, Lucknow and Post-graduate in landscapes; specialisation in water colour painting
