There are, times, when, if you look. intently at the
sun rising, you might be tempted to believe that there
is some force beyond the apparent, which is stealthily
squeezing color all over the horizon and gradually,
by degrees, the entire skyscape shudders with
innumerable hues of every sort. This is somewhat
akin to the feeling one gets as one faces Vipta
Kapadia's canvases.
Color emerges, erupts, jostles with other colors
and vies for attention as you smilingly admit that
each stroke forms an architectonic relationship with
the rest. Fingers of paint outline a psyche which seems
to source from nature herself.
Vipta has, over a period of time, revelled in her
thought processes and has defined them in abstract
forms, but these very abstractions declare quite
distinctly her deep subliminal bonding with nature.
Her language is supple and fulfilling, abstract as
well as articulate.
Color comes to Vipta as naturally and
energetically as gurgling laughter to a child and to
this end therefore, it would be obvious to term her a
colorist. "Obvious" but also a bit simplistic. This is
because the upsurge of color may be as irreversible
as the pigment from its tube but it is tranquil, lyrical
and in search of something intangible. It is
impassioned but not uncontrolled. The artist
meanders as a vocalist would, during an "alaap" but
orchestrates her rudiments (her line, color, form and
so on) with precision and delight.
The artist has had several exhibitions of her works since 1974. She currently lives and works in Mumbai.
