“I believe women in India surround themselves with Nature, whether they are farming in villages, tending to chores or adorning themselves. So I thought it fitting to create something with Nature entwined in their hair,” says G Ravinder Reddy.“Women encompass Nature in their spirit, in the way they drape themselves or do their hair; they bring in a spirit of Nature aesthetically and cleverly within their given limitations. That was the inspiration behind these reliefs.”The artist was talking about his series In Search of the Perfect Image, currently on display at Gallery Sumukha which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.Bridal coiffs and bejewelled pins catch your eye as you walk into the gallery, before you find yourself in the view of women looking out at the world through serene, kajal-lined eyes, their gleaming hair coiled into updos bedecked with flowers even as their nose pins twinkle and earrings gleam.
