At the Vadehras, Syed Haider Raza’s show Aarambh plays out like a raga-its nuances and notes finding harmonies within the realms of colours and tonalities and flowing between moody crags and crevices-the sharps and trebles seen in the strokes of spring summer and autumnal instincts in his own abstract realms.
“We talk everyday about painting and he likes to dwell on related dialogues in reflection within conversations,”says curator and critic Ashok Vajpayee, who is the authority on Raza. The show is an ode to his birthday which is a celebration of his own arduous hours of labour at his home in Safdarjung Enclave in Delhi.
