Sensations” - Solo Exhibition by Lakshman Chavan.
Lakshman
Chavan is a young artist from Pune, who has traversed the long road from
watercolour landscapes to the trendy Buddha to the art he now emerges with at

Using
three predominant hues – red, blue and yellow on dull grey and off-white
backdrops, nuanced with tones of burnt sienna, black and auburn, Lakshman gives
expression to “Visual Sensations”. Expressions of childhood memories, his
leanings and learnings from a closed rural setup to metropolitan musings - the
artist captures them all through a symbolic muse: that of a little girl child
peering into a bioscope.

Wielding
the brush, he suffuses his canvases with picturesque cinematography of societal
goings-on, influencers and cultural innuendoes, drawing the viewer’s attention
to a variety of issues, eliciting an array of emotions, provoking thought, seeking
answers.
The
strength of his canvases lies in the juxtaposition of negative and positive
space and the depiction, which goes much beyond the obvious and connects to the
human psyche in general.
An
exhibition not to be missed!
