Viveek Sharma
Sadhu Spiritual, Oil on Canvas by Artist...
Artist Viveek Sharma grew up in Allahabad with its sadhus and witnessed many Kumbh Melas, where people come, from all over India and the world, to seek answers to these questions (Why are we on earth?) and make some sense of our existence, our frail humanity and its little joys and woes.
His sadhus look like Shiva, the original ascetic himself, as they go forth through mysterious states of awareness, making visible their experiences of ecstasy, distress, many pitfalls, altered states of perception, powers and finally reaching the promised land, the sahasrar and far beyond.

Dharmendra Rathore
Tatvamasi, Hindu God, Mixed Media, Blue,...
414,400Dharmendra loves experimenting with different forms and styles, shifting from figuration to landscapes to abstraction to narratives and again to abstract art. He gained a variety of experience during his college days by working with legendary masters like Ram Gopal Vijaywargiya, then on miniatures with Bannu ji and Kripal Singh. His work focuses on gyan, dhyan, and vigyan where his figuration stands distinctly for the elongated eyes, dainty demure, peaceful posturing, meditative stance and long flowing robes of his protagonist. There is orange of sindur, the rust of earthen roof tiles, the brown of the soil and the pink of the stone from his home state makes a recurrent appearance in his work. The playful figurative paintings over laden with abstract swirls, strokes scribbles reflect the duality of life and the rustic terrain full of vibrant sounds and sights of Rajasthan comes alive under the master strokes of Dharmendra Rathore.
