PRABHINDER LALL – An Artist of Serenity
By Jang S. Verman
From the time, the man came to existence, he has been involved in doing experiments in life to cope up with various situations. In modern times, experimentation and speed has made its existence felt in a big way. It has influenced every field of life including the field of art. The artists of today are doing a lot of experimentation and innovations in their fields. Prabhinder Lall is one such artist.
This Chandigarh based artist started his art career in the mid-seventies. He tried his hand at Drawing making, Collage, Print Making, Painting and Photography. Since then he as been associated with the experimentation with media and modes of his expression. He has traveled a long path to accomplish his creativity and talent. His recent works show varied hues of his long experience in the field of art.
Lall’s work depict his varying moods. His work are marked with brand of vast landscape scenes embedded with architectural arrangements. Serenity prevails all around. Mountains with isolated houses, without habitats, are, often seen in his works. Wider skies are filled with graded tones. And that catches and spells the magic on the viewer. Some times the mood of the work is so intense that one feels the artist is in solitude and wants to wander in search of space and only space. Many a time the mountains are transformed into feminine figures, resting in the open. Dark blue, green, grey and purple colours give the works a mystique look.
His is a world of romance. He lets his imagination fly as fast as he can, to reach at an open place, where there is no one to live in the isolated houses. At few times, a pair of lovers is shown enjoying the ecstasy of the bliss of love. In such works, if the lovers are shown separated, their inner urge to get united is conveyed, conveniently. They are tied to one an other, in one way or the other. His world is so strange that sometimes figure may not need to hide themselves under clothes. In some of these works, the shadows of the lovers are made very long. This makes the work more dream-like Perhaps the artist, here, realizes about the real and unreal existence of the universe.
In some of his, works he has made use of air brush to create textural effect that create illusions as if the same object is present at more than one plane, at a time. This, further, adds to the mystique effect of his works.
Prabhinder Lall is engaged in evolving his innovative multi-media techniques. He, generally, uses non-conventional techniques in his works. He may go for water proof inks –pen on canvas, paste clippings on canvas, assemble pieces of different objects and paste on a surface, use stencils, spray (air brush) to crate textures, squeezee or card board piece or a metal strip to spread colours on the canvas or otherwise, may scratch the surface to create the required textural quality and so on.
His work has been acknowledge and displayed throughout the country. His works have been collected by many museums, art galleries and private collectors.
The time would certainly approve the Lall’s abilities for such endeavors in visual arts.

‘The end of journey is no where the point, where we expect the end would be, life again begins from there.’
