Gurmeet Marwah is a fun-loving and witty artist whose playful spirit shines through his work. He cleverly combines symbolism and sarcasm, often prompting viewers to smile at themselves or their surroundings. The bold charcoal lines in his pieces reflect his thought process and are central to his style. However, the true treasure lies in his choice of subjects.
One striking piece features a figure standing tall on the Qutub Minar, encouraging everyone to love fearlessly. Whether through his series on Gandhi, the playful “Monkey with Love Tail,” or the thought-provoking “Gun with Heart (Love is Solution),” Gurmeet dares to express love. In a world filled with conflict and jealousy, what could be more important than love? His themes are timeless and have the power to promote peace and unity.
When viewers look at his paintings, their minds race with ideas, thanks to the dynamic lines and bold strokes. Yet, despite this whirlwind of thoughts, the calm expression of the figure helps soothe their minds. This balance is what many admire most about Gurmeet’s work; he skillfully manages the chaos in the viewer’s thoughts. For example, his piece titled “Hear No Evil” embodies a famous Gandhi quote. The red heart invites everyone to remain calm, listen to positive messages, and focus on love and peace.
Gurmeet Marwah’s paintings have the essence shringara rasa, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of human relationships and emotions.
