A series of digital paints at Hutheesing Visual Art Centre

'Anaht Dhwani’ (sound without vibration), a series of digital paints by artist Rahul Gajjar, was on display at the Hutheesing Visual art centre last week.

Artist Rahul Gajjar gives shape to his work including tantric philosophy and its various possibilities, while evolving a form out of bindu (dot).

One may feel that there is more fun than philosophy in these creations which are neatly constructed forms in diagrams.

However, the artist points out that these forms have not simply happened. Many forms discuss the larger philosophies of 'Garbha' in a globe, though some do not convey the definitions the artist attributes to them.

Rahul Gajjar explains, "In tantric art, colour has a major significance. And how can a form of the Devi remain ornamentless?

Gajjar explains Dhwani, the sound’s classification, in four stages Para, Rasyanti, Madhyama and Vaikhari. And in following the stages, the sound takes a form from formlessness.

The stages here are justified by showing variations which remain designs in the end if not underlined with definitions. Somehow it creates an illusionistic space for the onlooker which is filled with visual effects.
