Suryakant Lokhande's search for an identity continues. Back with his third exhibition, Koham (Who am I?), he delves into the theory of life before birth and after death. "A title like Koham gives you the freedom to take on different themes. The good response for my last two exhibitions have encouraged me," he says. He finds it difficult to explain the concept of his paintings. "One cannot interpret and explain each painting. If it could be so easily explained, it will become an illustration and not a painting," says Suryakant. Acrylic on canvas, his paintings are a blend of the abstract and the realistic. "I begin with the abstract and then turn toward the realistic," says Suryakant. And this is a long process, as he spends nearly two months on each painting.]Suryakant is the only Indian artist, besides M F Husain, who contributed to the exhibition on Hiroshima and Nagasaki relics in Mumbai at the Nehru Centre last year. His painting, Hiroshima Nagasaki Never Again is now a part of theprivate collections of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, Japan. His works are priced between Rs 2,000 and Rs 25,000. At the Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Worli till May 04, 1998. Time: 10.00 am to 7.00 pm. Copyright © 1998 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
