Paul Gopal-chowdhury: Everything in the Garden - Paintings 2013 at Art Space Gallery

Street scenes of east London interwoven with Indian mythological imagery make Paul Gopal-Chowdhury’s paintings instantly recognisable. But these paintings do not deal with ethnic issues or cultural identity, they deal with issues of the language of painting. For Paul Gopal-Chowdhury it is always about trying to find a way to say something that can be sensed but that can’t be described; to get beneath the surface. To bring to life what is in his mind, his dreams, his thoughts and his fears. Images that may have grown out of one fleeting moment in time can then go back to infinity and forward to infinity as well. Multiple realities that impact and interact on one another.
