I have witnessed Sridhar’s ever inventive attitude. He works
with commitment and focus.
-Amit Ambalal, Decemebr 2007.
Eminent Painter,
Director, Contemporary Art Gallery,
To work with ones own ‘Truth’, ‘Sincerity’ is
which is needed in any creative expression as Sridhar tries to follow it.
‘Breath’is life and breath involves different kinds of realities.
Breathealthough it may be a mechanical process it involves you, which is atreasure of realities of
many kinds. The work of art also breathes.
InSridhar’s work whether it is a figure with a cow, cat, butterfly, fishor squirrel,
becoming one with them, they are also treated in his ownstyle, playing with massive process and
mind. Thus achieving differentmoods in his paintings.

Sridharbegan his journey as a true lover of nature through the serenity
ofsound in the nature. With a human form at the helm of expression therewas a deep plunge in time
alone as if the artist was trying torecognize himself and his surroundings. An arresting flora and
faunapattern expressed further yeat sway in the tune to nature’s music,which has explored as
relationship between men and animal. How onewould be humane without the company of an animal is a
question framedin each surreal expression here where animal forms possess a human bodylanguage
whereas the agile human form is simply shown as device to makeit complete. The question allures in
faraway trees, which in theirbright pinks illuminate the dark sky and barren land
Withouta layer of philosophical load Sridhar reacts to his surroundings
inmost naturalist’s manner to portray his pets with abundant love and sothe visuals here are still
and supple, obvious and translucent withoutthe pollution of clamor and clatter.
