I warmly welcome you to the captivating realm of Tushar Sabale. I was first introduced to Tushar’s work when he entered our Summer Exhibition 2023 open call. He, very much deservedly, was chosen to be our Green & Stone grand prize winner.
The first feeling I had on seeing Tushar’s work was how tender it was. His palette of bold colours and strong brush marks would normally drown a delicate interior scene of a girl playing the piano, but through his understanding of composition, he was able to capture this intimate and restful scene effortlessly. Tushar is truly a master of light and this much will be evident when you immerse yourselves in the evocative narrative of 46 beautifully crafted paintings that make up the essence of this exhibition, 'London, My Home.'
Tushar Sabale embodies artistic expression and proudly unfolds his love affair with this vibrant metropolis he now calls home. This exhibition serves as a visual ode to a creative spirit who has moved from the rich tapestry of India to the eclectic streets of London.
You'll find yourself transported through the seasons in locations that have left an indelible mark on Tushar's artistic psyche. From the refined elegance of South Kensington to the pulsating energy of Brick Lane, and from the historic charm of Greenwich to the regal allure of St. James and Pall Mall, each canvas breathes life into Tushar's enduring impressions.
The paintings, created with the technique of alla prima or derived from meticulous studies, distill the essence of Tushar's personal 'London diaries.’ These are not just canvases; they are portals into the artist's memories, each stroke telling a story of his journey through the bustling streets and tranquil corners of this magnificent city.
In addition to the paintings, Tushar graciously unveils a glimpse into his creative sanctum – his home studio. Here, a curated selection of pieces offers a unique perspective into the artist's process.
This is a visual feast – a celebration of art, love, and the profound connection between an artist and the city that has become his muse. 'London, my Home ' asks you to embark on a journey through Tushar Sabale's eyes, where every brushstroke is a testament to the enduring romance between an artist and his beloved urban sanctuary.
