This abstract artwork by Suhas Shilker are active as well as passive, they are dualistic, brimming with active molecules from the microscopic world to the cosmic energies. This reflects the quality of Goa which is the land of temples, churches, sea and the sea, a veritable mix of mysticism and worldly pleasures. Shilker’;s paintings are his contemplations, it is like the sea at times silent and quiet and at others very violent and destructive. Shilker creates a visual imagery of forms that have no resemblance with the world we live in, they are a cryptic language of his own. The way he treats the forms and colors is almost akin to the act of a sculptor paring down the superfluous to reveal the form within.
