On the eve of
Ganesh festival in India, we pay homage to the religious icon that transcends
myriad manifestations and still remains sacrosanct.
When we appreciate
art, what are we looking at, appreciative about? The colours, form, textural
vocabulary, narrative…? And when we are engaged in that metaphysical
communiqué, away from the mundane, transported to a different level, we are
lost for words that can express the profound feeling that envelopes us; at the
other end, we chose to find solace in wordy articulateness that might sound
sophisticated but convey no real essence.
