Unlike the densely populated lotus ponds on his canvas, it is easier to navigate A. Ramachandran’s mind. On a balmy November afternoon, the veteran artist turns to his background in literature and music to take one through his distinguished career where he swam against the tide to create an Indian idiom in modern art. We meet at Triveni Kala Sangam where Vadhera Art Gallery is holding an exhibition of his works at the Shridharani Art Gallery. With a walking stick in hand, the 83-year-old took us to the lotus ponds of Ubeshwar, Nagada, Jogi Talab and Ekalinji near Udaipur to explain their changing moods.
