Painter Prafulla’s Journey Into Space

 

Prafulla is one of the senior-most woman artists of India. In her career spanning more than fifty years, she has traversed life as she painted. Her first painting exhibition in 1962 was a rendition of different moods of music in ‘Ragas’ in pictorial form. Her love for forms and colors was immediately apparent. She went to École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where she learnt to express herself in Lithographs. And there was her first rendition of landscapes! This reflected later on her canvas. She alternated stylized portraits with landscapes for the next few years. When her daughter visited her with her daughter, she painted a series on Mother and Child!

She loved how the monsoon changed the landscape in the hills. This appeared as lush green paintings with waterfalls and congruence of gushing rivers. But as she painted, her landscapes were becoming more and more abstract.

Soon her landscapes turned into just scapes. There was no recognizable land! The scape had no beginning and no end. She began to feel the freedom of form. An appreciating collector said about her work: 

“Open window to space in Prafulla’s painting.

What’s in her space? It’s freedom.

Freedom for mind to escape.

Mindscape

Painting to release mind’s tension into infinite space.

Attain peaceful steady state. Inner Peace” 

She realized where she had reached. She had discovered peace. Peace from the beautiful endless deep space! She explored the new freedom and painted feverishly as she wrote about her painting: 

My painting depicts the space that I feel. Space is the vast womb of Mother Universe that can take in everything. Comets rage by, Tsunamis come flooding in, Earthquakes shake in anger, even the Stars explode, but space continues to be just as calm. It absorbs the full fury of nature without losing its serenity! My painting is a window for the mind to escape into this peaceful space.” 

In her paintings she had found the window for the mind to escape into space. She had found the means to let her mind explore her inner space. And this window she called Mindscape! She continued to paint Mindscapes, and she wrote: 

“I am at peace when I am ready to paint. I look at the space which opens in my mind. I feel its vibrations.  It is that ageless vastness of space and the nature it manifests. It is a feeling to be absorbed to integrate ourselves in this Universe.   My painting depicts that space which I feel. It is the permanence of space which cannot be destroyed. Whatever happens in the Universe, the space continues. Time passes, matter transforms and ages, but space remains unchanged! It absorbs the full fury of nature without losing its serenity! My painting is a window for the Mind’s Escape into this peaceful space: Mindscape. Painting to release mind’s thoughts into that infinite space. Bring peace to your inner self.”

Next 2-3 years she kept painting Mindscapes as her mind kept escaping into space! And the inevitable happened. One day she found her space! It was beautiful! She wrote:

 “I began to depict this space in my paintings, which I called ‘Mindscapes’. Through the years these paintings evolved and now they are more than my mindscapes. They are the ‘eternal space’ itself: the sea of tranquility which will take you to eternity. I have now therefore aptly named these evolved paintings ‘Eternal Space’.”

She has arrived all the way into space. Her paintings have a play of light and shade, subtle shades of colors which bring depth into her work; but you cannot say which part is closer and which part is farther away. The parts appear to vacillate as you see them with hypnotizing effect. The forms on the painting seem to be moving but with no beginning and with no end. There is no anchor to show where the space is located. It is truly awesome endless space.

She is now preparing for her forthcoming show in Dubai from 1st to 10th November 2008 in the Art Gallery of Majestic Hotel. This is what she has written in her catalogue:

“I believe that to love an object passionately, you have to look at it dispassionately.

And that needs Objectivity; achieved by placing it ‘Light Years’ away.

Distance in space measured in length of time.

Space by itself is infinite. It is timeless. It is Eternal.

That’s my painting showing Timeless Distance: Eternal Space.” 

Prafulla the painter has journeyed long and hard to achieve the exquisite rendering of her inner tranquil space! You can see her work at www prafulla dot com.

Hubble Space Telescope 1/48 Replica


$5995


The Hubble Space Telescope Model in 1/48 Scale. The Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope in orbit around the Earth, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. Its position outside the Earth’s atmosphere provides significant advantages over ground-based telescopes ? images are not blurred by the atmosphere, there is no background from light scattered by the air, and the Hubble can observe ultra-violet light that is normally absorbed by the ozone layer in observations made from Earth. Since its launch in 1990, it has become one of the most important instruments in the history of astronomy. With it, astronomers have made many observations leading to breakthroughs in astrophysics. Hubble’s Ultra Deep Field is the most sensitive astronomical optical image ever taken.

Five Years On Mars – National Geographic When the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity touched down on Mars in 2004, they weren?t expected to last long?perhaps 90 days, or six months at most. But 90 days have stretched into almost five years, and a short-term science mission searching for evidence of water has turned into one of the greatest adventures of the Space Age. The rovers have trekked miles across hostile plains, climbed mountains, ventured in and out of deep craters, gotten stuck in sand dunes, survived dust storms and mechanical failures, and cheated death so often that no one will venture a guess as to how much longer they might last.Five Years on Mars follows this amazing story of two rovers that may be among some of the greatest explorers in history.

Creating Space The Story of the Space Age Told Through ModelsThe Heavens – and trying to get there – have always intrigued man, and have been included in our artwork throughout all of history. In recent years they have been the subject of countless books, articles, radio and television shows and films, and have more and more featured the practical method of achieving these dreams – Spaceships. Creating Space takes us on a journey through the history of the space age, up to the present and beyond. From the advent of the “space race” with the V-2 rocket of World War II to the International Space Station and the future, a complete and detailed chronicling of vehicles is given, side by side with pictures and details of models that depict the multitude of aircraft and spacecraft developed throughout the world.In addition, extensive appendices provide details of all of the space-related models ever made and the many manufacturers and distributors who have supplied them – all in the words of an experienced professional insider.

Sex In Space


Sex In Space


$17.95


Sex In Space by Laura S. Woodmansee, author of Women Astronauts and Women of SpaceAs hoteliers design zero-gravity hotel suites for out-of-this-world unions and with the first honeymoon in space already scheduled, this provocative account reveals the truth about romantic rendezvous in Earth’s orbit and beyond as well as the advantages and difficulties of having sex in space. Questions the space agencies are too embarrassed to discuss ? such as Has anyone “done it” in space? What will happen to the first baby conceived in space? and Have astronauts and cosmonauts practiced “docking maneuvers” while in orbit? ? are thoughtfully answered, while science-fiction myths about interstellar intercourse are dispelled. From chemistry to psychology, this exploration runs the reproductive and sexual gamut, from lust and sexual mechanics to conception, pregnancy, and birth in low-gravity situations. This title may not be suitable for all audiences. Parental guidance suggested. FEATURES: Paperback: 136 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing, Inc.

The Conquest of Space


The Conquest of Space


$23.95


The Conquest of Space by David Lasser with a new introduction by Sir Arthur C. ClarkeDavid Lasser stands as one of the least-known but extraordinary pioneers of spaceflight. In 1930 he founded the American Interplanetary Society – the same year he wrote this book – the first book ever written in the English language to address the notion of spaceflight as a serious possibility. This book has not been in print since 1931 and yet it still stands up to scrutiny. The lucid style with which Lasser explains the basic concepts of rocketry make it a delight for anyone to read. Only a handful of errors creep into the text and all of those were based on the best information available at the time. The Conquest of Space is a milestone work of spaceflight literature and was state of the art in 1931. No space enthusiast’s library is complete without it. Here is what Sir Arthur C. Clarke had to say about The Conquest of Space… “My encounter with The Conquest of Space, soon after its publication in 1931, was one of the turning points in my life, and I suspect, not only of mine�” FEATURES: Hardcover: 192 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc (September 1, 2002) Language: English Book Dimensions: 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.9 inches

Kids to Space: A Space Traveler's Guide


Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide


$29.95


Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide In the interest of getting kids interested in science, math, space, ……..Lonnie Schorer invited 6000 students, in 99 schools in every state in the US and from Canada, to take an imaginary trip to space – each asking 3 questions prior to launch. This resulted in 18,000 questions, answered by 83 experts. So, this is: An art book: there are 146 student illustrations in the book and another 1000+ on the CD/ROM accompanying the book, set to Hawkwind soundtracks. A science teachers textbook: packed with science information in 94 different categories. A reading literacy book: a children’s story, in large font, precedes each chapter – introducing younger children to the material in the chapter in simple everyday terms. A career guide: a mini-bio for each of the 83 experts is included so that kids can see that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to participate in the space effort. An adult book: The average adult does not know 85% of the information in the book. It would seem an investigative expedition, where children think about tomorrow, learn techniques for problem solving to reach a goal, explore the unknown and express their visions for the future is, as an educational exploration, as relevant as a land-based expedition. It is essentially the first private citizens guide to space – generated by children. These children are our future explorers, and we need to encourage and reach them now.
