“Today, life, our life is just a link in a chain of innumerable living beings that have succeeded one another on Earth over nearly 4 billion years. Our Earth relies on a balance in which every being has a role to play and it exists only through the existence of another being; a subtle, fragile harmony that is easily shattered. What do we know about life on Earth? How many species are we aware of? A tenth of them? A hundredth of them? What do we know about the bonds that link them? The Earth is a miracle. Life remains a mystery. In the great adventure of life on Earth, every species has a role to play, every species has its place. None is futile of harmful. They all balance out. That is where you, homo sapiens, wise human, enter the story. You benefit from a fabulous 4-billion-year-old legacy bequeathed by the Earth.” What will you do with it? Will you crush it into the burning flames of your insatiable desire to control it or will you protect it, nurture it and help it grow? You are the responsible one. The decision is yours to make.- Home (2009), documentary by Yann Arthus-BertrandThis painting was exhibited at: - The Brick Lane Gallery in London, UK (October 2016) - Favela Cafe, Vilassar de mar, Spain (May - Aug 2018)

Gates To Heaven

sareena khemka • Bangalore • India

2014 • mixed media painting on canvas

91.4 x 5.08 x 152.4 cm

These series of works based on Bombay, tell narratives of a city through its architectural history, following a similar colour palette of browns, greys, copper, blue & white. The blue shapes & colour represent the slums, being synonymous with the tarp covers that make the roofs of the slum housing. Specs of orange painted in some of the works are symbolic of the political influence in the city. Several of the works such as 'Gates to Heaven' are about gated communities that lure people with tag lines such as "Reside in new heights of happiness". Being self-sufficent like small kingdoms they hide the poverty, disparity and filth that surrounds them and promise a better life. Motifs and patterns of Indian design are block printed and painted on contrasted with contemporary designs that reflect the rich culture of the country and my biography as an artist.

Because it was widely available, Yellow ochre pigment was one of the first colors used in art. The Lascaux cave in France has a painting of a yellow horse 17,000 years old. The painter Vincent van Gogh was a particular admirer of the color yellow, the color of sunshine. Writing to his sister from the south of France in 1888, he wrote, "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!" Dayroom is a tone of yellow that was very popular during the Regency period (1820) in England. I use pigments on stretched canvas and finish with satin spray varnish.
