Jaya Lamba is a self taught artist and has painted all of her life, but began formally exhibiting her work six years ago in New York. Since her first exhibit, her paintings have been shown in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Westchester, and in Mumbai. Jaya Lamba is an artist who has spent significant time living in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York, in addition to Mumbai, over the past two decades. Her paintings are influenced by a multitude of experiences that span cities and cultures, the bright red lines running through her canvases are a thread that connects her distinct experiences and represent the pushing-forward of the world. Key to her oeuvre are shocking, vibrant colors and a deep study of the human form. She draws inspiration from her immediate context - be it the philosophical and spiritual odyssey of the soul or the ever-present pressures of politics;or the sinuous curves of muscles stretched taut . The images in her work weave through both the corporeal and psychological worlds, creating visual representations of things unseen and bringing new depth and focus to the human figure. Her work is a delicate dance between the abstract and the concrete, creating intense visual energy from the interplay of concepts and colors.
