Samir Aich's Abstract fugurative

Samir Aich has been painting almost for three decades now. He started out as a neo-realist and gradually moved into semi-abstract figurative themes.
He dapples with dark colors with an organic overtone, powerful, scratching and emphatic dots, which together conjure a spectacular visual imagery, which is at once sensitive and powerful.

In “The animal with firefly at night”, the artist has sought to portray abstract concept such as the primordial animal spirit at night. The dramatic use of blue-grey pigment virtually covering the entire canvas, articulates a mysterious ambiance. The ferocious gesture of a tiger foretells mystic threats or promises made at night.

Samir is a tireless experimenter, constantly searching for new concepts and structural details. His penchant for creating unique, bold forms is reflected in “Boy with green dots”. It is a minimalist painting that encapsulates essence of melancholy. His powerful lines breathe life into both animate and inanimate forms.
