Roshini Vadehra , of Vadehra Art Gallery brings to London an Indian summer with a small suite of works by the master pedagogue and artist sculptor extraordinaire A. Ramachandran. Curated by the brilliant R.Sivakumar, A Singular Modernist is a treat for tired eyes. At Cork Street in London, Ramachandran’s suite of drawings, sculptures and paintings form an ensemble to create a medley of images that speak of his love for the rustic rhythms and rural vignettes of a place in Rajasthan called Obeshwar as well as Eklingji.
The colours, the odhinis and turbans, dhotis and lehengas and lush tropicana and insects and lotuses all celebrate fauna and flora in this month that hinges on sustaining world environments and habitats. At the gallery it is the summation of enchantment that unravels as an experience of beauty, within the endless possibilities of Indian art vernacular, the concreteness of things, and lives of tribal communities lived in symbiotic harmony with nature that stamps the human mind.
