The Kalichakra series is to look into that aspect of everyday matters that is bound and unbound by time. Kalichakra is everything that is timeless, untimebound or out of the realm of time. Its opposite is time and everything that is under the influence of time. This series was to look more closely into that aspect of us that is time bound and untimebound. It is taking aspects of painting that play a part in composition building and giving it prominence. The idea here is not to question the thought when it comes up but as to what to do next: to not allow the observation to turn in your mind with time. A Kalichakra painting is a painting that is out of the realm of time and you come to it by observation and from the moment. It is to experience the untimebound process of creation.
The Patchouli series was to capture the time around the sixties when it was a period of experimentation, fun and color. So I used it as a ‘tag’ to bring out the same qualities in the composition of the painting.
The Kalichakra paintings and the Patchouli series somehow compliment each other in content as they represent experimentation, creation and looking for the new.
