About KS Vass

A Picture can speak for itself and whatever it says to the viewer is itself the right message. That is all. " I am a lover of nature and beauty, and beauty never passes into nothingness. I create works to satisfy my inner self. Art is self-sufficient and has no aim beyond its own perfection, its end is simply to exist and to be beautiful. Art for art's sake. And life is for art's sake.

The shy boy who played around in his father’s classes which was home to many art pursuing students in an atmosphere that probably imbibed in him the love of art and the beauty of artistic activity that necessitated him to carry it all along his life. It has been a chord treasured in his heart that travelled with him as a peacemaker, catalyst and reinforce that could help translate his pains into pleasure and help him being a patron to himself.

It is this accumulation of diverse knowledge and the need to enjoy various genre that culminated into an array of work in terms of concept and color. If at times he is into a poetic repertoire in fanciful hues of a luminescent palette, predominantly he is a deeply introspective brooding artist poking the authoritarian dictates of the society and the complex nature of the human mind and in succession he effortlessly alters into abstraction.

His work appears spontaneous, yet the playfulness is assertively controlled. It is a double edged stock of a passionate painter in love with the process of painting and the necessity to give form to the psycho visual activity that happens in his self.

The paintings of Vass do not fall in the category of “Abstract” as most of them are Representational, Semi-figurative and Expressionistic. As the free-style treatment of the surface and application of tonalities with subdued hues occupy the vast areas of the visual space, it evokes a sense of Abstraction. However, he makes a conscious challenge to recapture the sense of ambiguity employing both representative and non representative devices. Just like his favourite artist Francis Newton Souza, the formalistic disposition of the body of works predictably brings forth a voluntary mode of expressing meaning inhibited in its hidden structure/signification.
