Doors of Perception

Doors of perception - the art of Manoj kachangal - Manoj kachangal's paintings have astonishing range of colours, the depth of his works, their complex abstract language with its origins in the magical landscape of Mandu (Madhya Pradesh), as well as his technical skill and inventiveness represented here must astonish even his keenest admirers. In the contemporary medium of acrylic, on both canvas and paper, Manoj Kachangal conveys the unremitting freshness of his vision. In his search he is always 'cleansing the mirror of perception.' This attractively designed book coincides with Manoj's large solo show at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi (August 1 to 6, 2008). —Vinod Bhardwaj
