The Lukas Feichtner gallery situated at Seilerstätte 19 in Vienna (Austria) has been staging an exhibition of Sam Pitroda's works titled "Between Memory and Phantasy" from May 27 to June 19, 2014. Already known as a much successful entrepreneur in India and in the U.S, Sam Pitroda has emerged in recent years as a true artist after he started to paint from the early 1970s in creating abstract and surrealist works. Described as a genius who helped India to become a force in the domain of engineering and telecommunications, Pitroda has fulfilled his dreams in taming the mysteries of forms to create a world of fantasy.
Though he has always modestly viewed painting as a past-time, Pitroda has shown a rare talent in expressing his feelings through his constant research aimed at combining forms and colours to create forceful works that have already been admired in various exhibitions.
In one of his first painting titled "Woman's Lib", which he created in 1972, Pitroda set two eyes in his composition just to unveil a stare and nothing else, in "Chips" produced in 1975, he just placed a rectangle with beams to mean the intricate connection between a chip and the world, to underline the ongoing revolution in communication, in "Listener" painted a year after, he represented surrealistic figures in a what seems a desert as if they were speaking to each other, then in "Lady Bird" (1977) he instilled movement in a kind of abstract sculpture while in "Autumn" (1978), he painted a forest of leaves with no blank space as if he wished to trap the viewer in a labyrinth of questions. In "Turmoil" created in 1997, Pitroda placed several figures among a havoc of lines painted with blazing colours as if he was questioning the state of the world while in "Construction" (2003) he paid homage to Kandinsky.
Always infused with a quest to unravel the mysteries of the world that surrounds us, he audaciously swam in a deep sea of abstract-expressionism with "Floating" in 2005, which is perhaps one of his most elaborate works.
Pitroda seems inhabited by a staunch rage to explore the realm of painting with his brush as if he was using it as a magic wand to charm the viewer while knowing that his long-standing questioning will remain unfinished simply because each of his work leads him to a kind of rebirth, a situation he has already been well acquainted with as a telecom inventor, entrepreneur, development thinker and policy maker whose success always rests on flair and talent. Being the basis of his work, memory is primarily linked to the knowledge and skills he has acquired throughout his life. Regarding art, this means evolving from what the great masters went to put forward while fantasy, which is a sure way to escape the monotony of one's existence, enables him to fully express his dreams on the canvas.
