budha Painting

in sanjay sharma's work along with modernist techniques,heforegrounds other devices to celebrate thesurface,illuminating inexorably bringing to life,tending a surface he fears might dull. his ability to conjure up experiences through colour and through the shape and weight of lines and rhythms of composition,are eloquent.one senses a working out of pictorial conventions,of attitudeand of free associations that swivel between dream and reality.the works have a nervous,inchoate narrative quality,as figures, both wraith like and robust,take on symbolic weight as they get filtered through liquid swellsand flow of translucent colours.the images here are replete with images retrieved from the times and spaces he has navigated inwardly and intensely with an indiscriminate abandon and pace. nanak ganguly
