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!
