"The relevance of painting is not only in the subject or theme, but in the newly perceived formal order of colour orchestration."
"My work is my own inner experience and involvement with the mysteries of nature and form which is expressed in colour, line, space and light".
Raza
is a nature based painter who evolved from painting expressionistic
landscapes to abstract ones. From his fluent water colours of landscapes
and townscapes executed in the early 40's he moved towards a more
expressive language painting landscapes of the mind. The unique energy vibrating with colour in his early landscapes are now more subtle but equally if not more dynamic. Raza abandoned the expressionistic landscape for a geometric abstraction and the Bindu. Raza perceives the Bindu as the center of creation and existence progressing towards forms and colour as well as energy, sound, space and time. |
