In last few months Dr. Udayraj Gadnis, the spiritual painter, exhibited three series at the Cosmic Heart Gallery - Dew Drops of Wisdom, Womb of Time and Cosmic Sounds. Currently, the gallery shows a body of work that has a few pieces from all three series.
Gadnis' USP has been depicting varied forms of deities in bright hues that he creates using precious and semi-precious stones. His tantric meditation has helped him earlier to take his work to the next level which enthralled the viewers. The Ganesha, the Shiva, the Hanuman... they exuded energy that attracted the viewer.
His Sun series, Suryakal, that was exhibited at the Bihar Museum Biennale exhibition radiated a glow. It was not just the gold that he used, but it was the glow of his heart and soul.
However, the current body of work lacks that quality. And one is surprised to see that.
"You are bang on!" Gadnis exclaims. "These works do lack the heart that my earlier works had. And I am not ashamed to admit that. But don't you want to know the reason?"
