remarkable
that she picked up the art language herself and worked on it for
well over a decade.
Her concerns are mainly centered on women. Most of the paintings
have bright colours. Pinky’s women are not sad or morose.
They appear to take on life in their stride, look upon it with equanimity.
A positive, optimistic attitude emanates from the paintings.That
is one of the attractions of the artist’s creations. In quite
a few paintings, she shows the whole by painting only a part.
In all the paintings, we see movement. The women have no time to
dream, sit around. They are on the move doing things. They are not
mere decorations; they have purposeful, meaningful aims. None displays
her charms; there is no eroticism – but only a robust, feminine
Presence. The exhibition of painting is aptly titled “Stree
Shakti”. We see ample evidence of it in the paintings.
By Arkay, Afternoon times, Bombay
Pinky Bhatt, whose first exhibition was a marvelous record of achievement
by women from all walks of life, has now evolved a new series of
paintings of rural women, those portray the inner strength, the
beauty of life of simple villagers. Pinky has a fine depth of understanding,
expresses her vision in excellent portraiture and shows her maturity
as an artist of high caliber.
