Trance I By: Viveek Sharma

Simultaneous to his exploration of the subject, Viveek Sharma has also been intuitively responding to the technique of pointillism. It is a device based on the science of optics, in which conglomerations of multi-coloured dots provide a mingling of shades, and allow a different tone to dominate in varied light. In this case the larger than life images disintegrate in close view; each dot has its place, each line its direction, each brushstroke has value that contributes to the whole. Symbolically, the identity of the Sadhus merge within their environment as they pass through the ephemeral world.
