SOUMYA NETRABILE
b. 1966, IndiaWorking intuitively, Soumya Netrabile channels her subconscious to mining memories of walking through nature to create her paintings. Her canvases comprise atmospheric fields of majestic color. Forests of green, amber, and peach—occasional animals or figures appear—dwarfed by swirling flame-esque brushstrokes. Netrabile dissolves real space into lyrical abstraction, uncovering poetic and spiritual connections to landscape and the world surrounding us.
Soumya Netrabile (b. 1966, Bangalore, India) received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers University. Recent solo exhibitions include Pt.2 Gallery, Oakland, CA; Andrew Rafacz, Chicago, IL; and The Journal, New York, NY. Netrabile has exhibited in group exhibitions at galleries including Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA; Rachel Uffner, New York, NY; Trinta Gallery, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Indigo + Madder, London, UK; and Karma, New York, NY. The artist lives and works in Chicago, IL.
