TYEB MEHTA (1925-2009) UNTILTED, SIGNED TOP RIGHT, OIL ON CANVAS
Est: £80,000 - £120,000
TYEB MEHTA (1925-2009) UNTILTED, SIGNED TOP RIGHT, OIL ON CANVAS Size: 48x36 inches Private Collection USA Footnotes: Born in Kapadvanj, Gujarat, in 1925, Tyeb Mehta once remarked, "In art, you have to go on for a long time before you can say 'I have done something.'" Initially a film editor, Mehta’s passion for painting led him to the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, where he graduated in 1952. His early exposure to European modernism, especially the distorted forms of Francis Bacon, significantly influenced his work. Mehta’s art was deeply introspective, evolving from attempts to understand the world in his youth to a more profound exploration of self in his later years. Mehta’s artistic journey saw him embrace Indian themes, particularly Hindu mythology, in the 1970s and 80s. His exploration of mythological figures such as Durga, Kali, and Mahishasura reflects his deep engagement with India’s cultural and spiritual traditions. Known for his unique approach, Mehta combined the flat planes and diagonal compositions of Indian miniature art with the macabre intensity of Bacon’s style, creating works that were both visually striking and conceptually rich. A master of form and technique, Mehta’s paintings often conveyed motion through static images, drawing on the ancient Indian tradition of multiple images to represent movement. His works, although turbulent, offer a sense of resolution and calm, exemplifying his belief that violence in art can be redemptive. Mehta’s legacy endures through his numerous solo exhibitions and accolades, including the Kalidas Samman in 1988.
