Yayati Godbole, an artist and mixologist believes in the concept of less is more. When viewing his works, one can see the simplicity of his
style in the manner of fables borrowed from heritage times as his muse. He passionately believes in hand-drawing and painting on various
materials like the cliché canvas and porcelain clocks; his “objects de vertu”. Each object has its own oneness.
Godbole uses the colour black for the reason that it was the first colour to be used by prehistoric artists to illustrate their ideologies on
walls of caves et al. He manipulates the colour on the surface of the clock depicting intricate drawings with varied densities. The artist
uses double bell porcelain alarm clocks with reiterations of his archetypical leitmotifs exhibiting Yayati’s celebrated concept of “living in
the now”.
His process comes across as meditative and meticulous of symbolic leitmotifs with visible strokes of consciousness-expanding hues
accompanied by a facial structure with vacant eyes, lines entering from multiple directions, and undivided sections of leaves.
The artist lives and works in Mysore, Karnataka.
