Suhasini Kejriwal



"Kejriwal works with photographic images of flowers, picturing them on canvas not so much with a view to their direct representation, or even to their clear legibility and comprehension, but by an emphatic and all-present deployment of a gentle filigree line without beginning or end. In the swirling dynamism of her line, Kejriwal emulates the traditional South Asian mendhi patterning used for decorating hands and feet in celebrations and festivals."

  1. love what you write about these.
    on first glance, my sense of the way the floral is angled, which made me flinch, i felt entrapment for the flying.

  2. I think its amazing the whole idea of not leaveing an inch free, and yet have a feel of depth is wonderful, and the colors just liften your sprit.

    :cheers!
