With psychological implications
MEENAL CHAUDHARI has an M.Phil degree in psychology, but art took over when she bought a computer to write a book and began indulging in digital art. Even earlier when she was in college she dabbled in painting. She uses different soft wares to create her digital art, some of which are on show at the Genesis Art Foundation (Anugraha Apts, 1&2 Seetha Nagar II Cross Street, Nungambakkam) till January14, 5-8 p.m. She has handled varied subjects in her work some of which have psychological implication such as `Freedom', `Man-Woman', and `Beauty and Beast', others more general like `Festival Lights', `Time Wave,' etc. and current affair as `Woman under Taliban'. These are partly figurative and partly abstract, but there is a child like simplicity to the concepts, if only because of the limited scope of the soft wares. That she has just been playing around with the computer is obvious in `Pondering Heads'. The colour combinations are quite interesting in many of them.
Meenal's shortcoming as a serious artist comes to the fore in her acrylic paintings on Rasas or emotions. These are ghostlike floating forms, hardly representative of any emotion; they are quite insubstantial to evoke any emotional response from the viewer.
