Between Body and Cosmos
Dr Gnana’s sculptural language has a clear metaphysical quality. It shows a lasting tension between the physical and the cosmic. Figures often appear as abstract silhouettes, suggesting elemental energies rather than actual bodies. The surfaces are textured not just for decoration, but as places of tactile memory. They invite viewers to explore the layers of history within the form.
Here, the lineage of Indian spiritual aesthetics, from the Upanishadic idea of the self to the tantric visual language of the cosmos, finds a fresh expression. These sculptures do not just represent spirituality; they embody it. They are meditations shaped from metal, balancing devotion and inquiry.
