Dhol TashaFestival morning in full voice — the dhol pathak mid-beat, seen from above, saffron and white moving as one rhythm.
Faces of the desert in dry pigment on dark paper. Let your cursor rest on one — it opens like a door.
Sunil Pardeshi has spent more than twenty years following the light of western India — the dhol processions of Pune, the horse fairs of Pushkar, elders wrapped against the desert wind, a child asleep on his father's shoulders — and carrying it home in oil, soft pastel and rangoli.
He trained at the Raheja School of Arts in Bandra, and his work has travelled the galleries of Mumbai and Pune since 2002 — Kala Ghoda, the Nehru Centre, the Bombay Art Society — with solo exhibitions at the Jehangir Art Gallery in 2015 and the Kamal Nayan Bajaj Art Gallery in 2016.
The subjects are people. The subject is light.
