Shalet MS, a dentist, faced no teething problems when she began painting. A self-taught artist, she turned to the net to understand colours, mixing and techniques of painting.
More than 40 of her acrylic and oil works were displayed at the Museum Auditorium for her solo exhibition, ‘Intrinsic Escape’. The collection of abstracts in different sizes showed her felicity for words as well, as each work had an interesting title that shed light on the painting and invited viewers to ponder on the works.
‘Into the forest’, a set of three acrylic paintings in shades of black, blue and glimpses of other colours have hints of gold here and there. The three works showcased her skill in impasto, wherein she creates density by adding layers of paint.
