Vinayak Godbole named NCAA October Artist of the Month
From Special Reports
The Newnan-Coweta Art Association (NCAA) has selected Vinayak Godbole as its featured Artist of the Month for October.
Godbole’s art will be featured in the entry way to Newnan City Hall throughout the month.
“I started my art career by painting portraits on commission,” Godbole said. “I studied portrait and landscape painting in India. In recent years, I switched from oil and watercolor to acrylic and acrylic impasto styles. I donate art to several charitable auctions such as Georgia Lawyers for Arts.”
“I have previously participated in art exhibitions in India’s National Centre for Performing Arts, the Mood Indigo cultural festival, and other art shows. My goal is to get my paintings, small and large, on as many walls as possible while also collaborating with designers and galleries.”
Godbole further shared, “Why some people enjoy or dislike certain paintings has always baffled me. It made me consider how feelings, hues, and a little science relate to one another. In every painting I create, I use color compositions in geometric patterns that allude to landscapes, composing flat color elements in subdued hues to create distances. My compositions have a passive tone and gradually elicit a parasympathetic response. In terms of technique, I use colors and texture to guide saccades.”
Vinayak Godbole is a member of NCAA. NCAA’s general meetings are held the third Monday of each month (from August through May) at the Harriet Alexander Art Center on Hospital Road at 6:30 p.m. An art demonstration is presented each month. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
