In these series,
Sridhar’spaintings take us into a world of extraordinary variety of texture andcolour, with
thought-provoking images of natural, cultural and everydayobjects. The sensuous enchantment which
fabric textures so powerfullyinduce is thus not only connected with touch it is also
visual,remembered, anticipatory, associative (in the sense of touch) andfeeling (in the sense of
inner emotions) are closely interwoven, not bycoincidence. His work has both simplicity and exotic
look. One feelsone is looking at a glorious kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. Itis informative
and inspiring.
