"Moon and Stars-3" is a mesmerizing geometric abstract artwork created using the acrylic pouring technique. This technique, known for its fluidity and unpredictable patterns, perfectly encapsulates the dynamic and ever-changing relationships in the night sky. The artwork depicts the moon and stars, focusing on the intricate interplay and connections between these celestial bodies.

Key Elements:

Geometric Patterns:

  • The geometric shapes in the painting symbolize the structured yet fluid relationships between the stars and the moon. These patterns represent the cosmic dance and the underlying order in the universe, despite the apparent randomness.

Acrylic Pouring Technique:

  • The use of the acrylic pouring technique adds a layer of complexity and spontaneity to the artwork. The flowing colors and organic shapes created through this technique mirror the natural movements and interactions of celestial bodies in space.

Inter and Intra Relationships:

  • The artwork speaks to the interrelationships (between different stars and the moon) and intra relationships (within the stars themselves). These connections highlight the unity and harmony in the cosmos, where each element, no matter how small, plays a vital role in the overall balance.

Flying Birds:

  • The presence of flying birds in the painting symbolizes freedom and the boundless nature of the sky. The birds reflect a state of mental liberation, enjoying the infinite expanse of the sky, unbound by any barriers. This element adds a layer of metaphor, suggesting that just like the birds, the mind too can experience freedom and limitless possibilities.

Interpretation:

"Moon and Stars-3" invites viewers to contemplate the vastness of the universe and the intricate connections that bind it together. The artwork suggests that in the grand scheme of things, everything is interconnected, and even the smallest elements have their place and purpose. The flying birds serve as a reminder of the freedom and expansiveness that comes with understanding and embracing these connections.

Visual Impact:

The geometric shapes, combined with the fluidity of the acrylic pouring technique, create a visually striking and dynamic composition. The contrast between the structured patterns and the organic flow of colors draws the viewer's eye, inviting them to explore the depths and details of the painting. The artwork's vibrant colors and dynamic forms make it a captivating piece that can evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation.

Conclusion:

"Moon and Stars-3" is not just a depiction of celestial bodies but a profound exploration of the relationships and freedoms within the universe. It combines the precision of geometric abstraction with the unpredictability of acrylic pouring, resulting in a piece that is both thought-provoking and visually stunning. This artwork is a testament to the beauty of the cosmos and the boundless freedom of the mind.

Anand Manchiraju, Moon and stars-3

Anand Manchiraju

India  • 1947

Presentation

I was born in Eluru, AP, India. Since childhood, I used to observe my father Sri M.S.
Murthy, while he was painting and when he finished his work, I used to clean his brushes.
Often, I used same brushes to come up with my own art. I followed my passion for art and
developed my unique style. In a career spanning more than 50 plus years as a professional artist
and have done over 3000 artwork on various subject matter such as landscapes, portraits, still
life, nudes, animals, travel, and botanicals, on different media such as oils on canvas, acrylic
on canvas, water colors on paper, etc. 

I studied photography in the JNTU Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture,
Hyderabad and furthering my education by taking Color Photo Technology at the Indian
Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun. Upon graduation, I joined Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Limited, Rishikesh Uttaranchal, as Artist and Photographer. I have also been
serving as the President of Andhra Academy of Arts, Vijayawada for three decades for the
cause and propagation of art. 

Living close to Himalayan mountains I got inspired by the splendours of nature and
Ganga river. As a result, nature is often the centerpiece of my work. My sense of the personal,
cultural and world view can be seen in my painting on Indian Tribes and Tribal Dances, Gods
such as Siva, Krishna, Ganesha, Buddha, Saints, etc. Using photography skills and my innate
innovativeness, I have extensively experimented using photo chemicals on bromide and
painting on used X-ray film after treating them. I am one of the very few in the world to do
artwork in this medium. In recent past, I have travelled around the world visiting my children.
Hence city abstracts have also become a recurrent theme. 

My work has been exhibited in many prestigious galleries in India. My first exhibition
was in the Raj Bhawan, Hyderabad in the year 1968. Since then, I have exhibited my work at
Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), Nehru Centre (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery (Mumbai), Lalit
Kala Academy (New Delhi), India International Center (New Delhi), Triveni Art Gallery (New
Delhi), Academy of Fine Art (Kolkatta), Lalit Kala Academy (Chennai), Muse Art gallery
(Hyderabad), State Gallery of Fine Arts (Hyderabad). I have received several state and national
level awards. These exhibitions received critical applause from the press & T.V media as well
as enthusiastic response from the art lovers. My artwork is in private collections and galleries
around the world. 

More recently, I have also participated and exhibited in several international juried
exhibitions both online and offline such as Studio Montclair NJ; Fusion Art, Palm Springs, CA;
Art impact International; Awesome Art Inc; Youth for Human Rights, Washington DC;
Artivita Online Art; Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery
Online; Sacramento Fine Arts Center, Carmichael, CA ; Chico Art Center, Chico, CA, and
many others. 

When I reflect upon my long association with art, I find that the creative process is just
as intriguing and rewarding as the final outcome of my projects. This desire to create has always
been strong even when others have tried to dissuade me. The internal push to create has given
me an appreciation for the process of exploration, patience and the beauty of art. I believe this
creative and explorative journey has become about freedom to create and the freedom to
express myself.
