Art Vibes is proud to co-host World Premiere of Sundaram Tagore's "The Poetics of Color: Natvar Bhavsar,
A painter's Journey" at the Tenth Annual MIAAC Film Festival.
The 60-minute documentary The Poetics of Color: Natvar Bhavsar chronicles the life and work of the noted Indian painter. The film follows Bhavsar as he journeys to New York City, the very nerve centre of the art world, in the 1960s. An immigrant in a new city, Bhavsar settles into a loft in SoHo, falls in love, and comes of age as an artist. Viewers glimpse Bhavsar’s meditative studio where the artist works like a Tibetan mandala painter, showering clouds of dry pigment on massive canvases on the floor.Then,within minutes, viewers are thrust into the chaos of the streets of India and dynamic scenes of New York City. Written and directed by Sundaram Tagore, the film explores the multicultural nature of Bhavsar’s work and how that has affected the trajectory of his career.
The documentary has been selected for screening on November 11 at the 10th annual Mahindra Indo-American Arts Council Film Festival in New York City-the same festival that launched Mira Nair’s The Namesake, Deepa Mehta’s Water, and Slumdog Millionaire.
