Profile Information
- About Me
- Bernard Rangel has a diverse cultural origin and this is clearly seen in his original and unique work. He is a self-taught artist and has been painting for more than 35 years. Since 2004 he has shared his love of painting by organising and participating in paint workshops for underprivileged children from Brazil and India.
He started by painting backdrops for the Amateur Hong Kong Ballet group and has since then painted household and commercial interiors, ceramics, bed linen, jeans, paper and on canvas. He works with acrylic, Indian ink and oil paint and plays with a wide variety of colours. It is particularly his backgrounds which capture the attention of art lovers, the public, other artists and critics. He enjoys painting live with an audience that participates.
He has exhibited in Dublin, Sao Paulo, Bahia, Rome, Hannover, London, Washington DC, Mumbai and New Delhi and his works are in the hands of private collectors and charitable institutions throughout the world. Bernard’s work is available on the internet and on YouTube. But now he invites you to see his work up close and meet him when you are in London.

CAN THE USA STILL LEARN?
Having read an article in a Newsweek (issue November 03/2008) by Henry Kissinger titled, ‘What Vietnam Teaches Us’ I noticed that he failed to mention the most obvious. People have and will continue to choose their very own from of socio-political organization according to their culture, religions, or historic social makeup. In the case of South Vietnam versus North Vietnam it was a classical case of getting rid of an overlord, in their case it w… Continue

CHANGE
The good thing about life and living is that changes can be made but there are conditions for change to take place: When to change, the need for it, mechanisms and implementations to carry them out effectively and efficiently, how to make the necessary alterations when identified, the courage to face the change and most importantly you must understand the need for change and then want to carry it out.
There is a reality to change as it is always taking place and it is part of ‘Mother… Continue

WORDS SAID AND UNSAID
The more you say the more is said, but the content is not as rich as what remained unsaid, so accordingly be aware that all that needs to be said that is inevitably left unsaid gets said.

THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF INDIA
Now that India has finished celebrating its 60 years of independence from British Rule it has undergone an entire social upheaval and happily in a surprisingly peaceful manner, considering how ‘south’ the entire process could have gone. As the sheer multiplicity of nations within a once non-existent nation, the complexity of its different religious heartbeats, languages, modes of existence, customs and the daunting task of implementing a democratic system to a sub-… Continue

Nice meeting you .
Well, being a creative person I'm just a bit worried about the current global recession .
Are you worried about recession's effect on the art market?
WARLI art is not a very high end art , still my sell reduced 40% since last year .
What about you ?
Do you any idea about silent auction for arts ?

You are invited to join us in our catalogues.
This year we have changed our policy and have decided to include brilliant artists/art collectors and art galleries from ANY COUNTRY in our catalogues. Actual exhibition will be only for Indian artists.
We can arrange a separate group exhibitions of artists from various countries in Jakarta if they wish.
Quality of work is the only criterion for selection for exhibition as well as catalogues. Every year we reject hundreds of artists who are ready to pay contributions. All types of artworks will be included in catalogues
1) Paintings
2) Graphic prints
3) Sculptures
4) Ceramic artists
5) Mix media artworks
6) Photography
7) Installations
8) Any other creative new art forms
We are planning to print a A-4 size high quality catalogue this year for our Indian art exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia. We shall be printing 1000 catalogues and they will be distributed free of charge to 100 major art galleries in India and Indonesia along with all artists in India. Everything depends on how many artists get selected and pay for the contribution for printing.
Artists who are selected for actual exhibition will be featured free of charge in the catalogues. They need not pay for the catalogues.
You can have one fullA-4 size page for you where your one of the best artwork will be printed along with full contact details of each artists so that anyone can easily contact artists directly to buy their art.
Korean art buyers have bought more than 80 paintings by contacting artists from our catalogues in 2007 .Many artists just participated in catalogues and were not part of exhibition. Catalogues will be printed only if there are enough paid entries.
Contribution per page per artists per artwork is just 200 USD.You will be sent one copy of catalogue to your contacts/friends in India. If you wish us to send us catalogues outside India, you will have to pay the air courier charges.
Selection of artists for catalogues will be done by end of April 2009 and selected artists will have to send their high resolution images on CD or by Email along with their full contact details. Contribution will have to be sent to our account which will be informed to selected artists.
For selection process, artists should send at least 5 images ( web resolution jpeg images) along with resume in word file.

What I have been enjoying about your work is the spontaneity! It is beautiful and I love the lines. And I love paintings that are done with out too or much no sketching. As for the Indian concepts I had mentioned, they were my inspiration for the paintings. That is my approach to art and that is all I was sharing. And I paint from my heart too. I can feel it in your work. The medium does not matter or the concept. What does matter is following your passion. I have been painting all my life and I enjoy sharing this passion for creating with anybody who feels the same way. And I paint a lot too. I have been selling a few paintings a year and have a large stock at home. It would be nice to sell more and make more of the much needed money. But it is my choice and I don't make any judgments about other's views on the subject.
I think your lotuses are very beautiful paintings and thank you for sharing them with me.
I started out with the lotus motif in my Sloka series with the same idea as yours and called them Sathyam Shivam Sundaram. Then moved on to the idea of the petals representing knowledge. The icon I use is a painting called Saraswathi and it is the infinite petaled lotus of knowledge. The more we seek the more we find.
Love the glow in your paintings. What is the medium? Do you use textured paper? Some of them look like the kolams made in Tamil Nadu.
The lotus is getting more complex. Now wondering about the third. Why the interest in lotus? Your version.....

I wish artists react to this discussion frankly.Most of the questions related to religion /violence / terrorism and politics will be answered through a vigorous discussion related to Art.Finding a final answers to social problems is extremely difficult but at least we shall have a clue of direction that we must follow.
I don't know about NRI DC chapter. What is it? I used to show at a gallery in Bethesda, that was before they closed.
