PAPER WORK

For a large canvas painter, small scale is challenging, especially the 25 etchings I did from 1980 – 1993 in Delhi’s Lalit Kala Academi studios as it was a technical challenge for a non-technical mind like mine. Some of the other paper works in pencil and gouache said everything in a small scale, like Gandhiji’s ECG sent to me by AIIMS for a seminar on ‘Gandhi and Health’.
My mother has gifted me a separate museum space to house the paper works of the last 45 years and thanks to Gautam Bhatia, the architect-writer designed forest to hand them in an exciting and surprising way with moving panels.
