A silent synergy of masters in Delhi
Critic and Curator Uma Nair has been writing for the past 35 years on art and culture She has written as critic for Times of India and Economic Times. She believes that art is a progressive sojourn. She learnt by looking at the best shows in Washington D.C. and New York. As author her most important books are Reverie with Raza and Meditations on Trees by Ompal Sansanwal. LESS ... MORE Step into at ARTIX at the Claridges Hotel in Delhi to partake of a silent synergy of Indian abstract Masters at an Art Fair in a hotel. Tarun Khanna is a curator of incredible thought and history ,he brings together abstract masters like G.R. Santosh, Ambadas Khobragade , Achuthan Kudalloor and Sohan Qadri with zest and fervour. Ascension and transcendence both wrap around your senses in this little room that speaks beyond words. Begin with the great Indian abstract master Gulam Rasool Santosh. Order, intensity and yogic discipline all come together in this salient masterpiece. Geometry and symbolism in Santosh Santosh's oeuvre emerges from a syncretic Kashmiri culture in which Hindu practises developed in dialogue with Islamic Sufi traditions and Mahayana Buddhist practises. Santosh who took the name of his wife, moved between Kashmiri poetry, and a modernist mooring in oil work is testimony to a lexicon of what is modern as well as universal in a specific Neo Tantric tradition of the South Asian subcontinent. He uses the yogic posture and takes the dual aspects of the human form to transcendental experience. Known for works in Museums across the world he said: ' Indian tradition is based on the universal concept of the ultimate reality manifesting itself in a myriad shapes and forms in time and space. My own self is preoccupied with the same universal concept…My paintings are based on the male-and-female concept of Siva and Sakti, and therefore, construed as Tantra.' Ambadas Khobradas' rich marblings The abstractionist who desired virginity shorn of romanticism and European accents, Ambadas Khobradas belonged to Group 1890 founded by Jagdish Swaminathan in 1962 .His swirling contours have their own kinetic and contour meshed into his own process of technique and depth of density created its own synergy. Layers of paint seem to coagulate and drip into their own dense down the length of the canvas in a shimmering iridescence, it seems to take on the characteristics of molten lava burning through a geological stratum of hot colours. Ambadas' deliberately dense chromatic fusions of colour shades punctuated by yellow swivels captivate the eye, which revels in the depths of colour present. His penchant for creating rich marblings takes on a tactile quality of moving lava within elastic patterns. Achuthan Kudallur's dense charisma Abstract master Achuthan Kudallur created works that mirrored the beauty of his native land Kerala and the Palghat hills. This verdant vermillion work is a corollary of charismatic moorings in which fragments float in fluid intensity within the pool of his explorations in abstraction. For Kudallur who spent many years at Cholamandalam it is the miasma of multiple moorings that kept his brush both pliant as well as passionate to the core. Achuthan was an artist of deep merit and gravitas. He neither wanted the hollow applause of the market nor did he seek fame, for him his art was about seeking his own soul over the spectacle of superficial whimsy. Sohan Qadri Beej The seed of gestation, the seed of germination, the seeds were more than a meditative sojourn for the Guru the author, poet and abstract master Sohan Qadri. For Qadri a painting was about grasping philosophy as well as simply seeing different levels of sublimation. When you look at the paintings with seeds you know that art for him had to be both profound as well as born of a personal meditative experience. This work at ARTIX , reminds us of primordial seeds and poet Kabir's verses of Bijak. Balaji in crimson tide Bathed against the crimson tide of deep detailing is Jai Khanna's realistic composition of Balaji once its the ebony that grabs your gaze. Flanking the Balaji is a little hanuman who stands in obedient obeisance. Jai says Lord Balaji's miracles inspire millions. They show him as the eternal protector and guardian of his are numerous accounts of devotees witnessing unexplainable miracles, from sudden financial success to healing from ailments, all attributed to Lord Balaji's blessings. This image with its fine rich embellishment in golds is as much about eternal devotion and faith, sacrifice, and a divine purpose.A sense of divinity pervades the room in which this is placed. The tilak on Lord Balaji's forehead represents the sacred Namam of Vaishnavism, denoting devotion to Lord Vishnu. Jai adds that it is believed that Lord Balaji's eyes are so powerful that if fully opened, they can hypnotize and bless devotees beyond their karma, disrupting the cosmic protect devotees from the overwhelming power of His gaze, the tilak partially covers His work has about it a cosmic energy.

'We couldn't step out together': Yuzvendra Chahal on RJ Mahvash being labelled a homewrecker, opens up on dating rumours
There have been rumours suggesting cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal is dating RJ Mahvash after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. Now, the cricketer has broken his silence about the buzz, slamming people who called RJ Mahvash a 'homewrecker'. RJ Mahvash is often spotted with Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra Chahal speaks up Chahal addressed the rumours during a conversation with Raj Shamani on his podcast. When asked if anything is going on with Mahvash or anyone, Chahal clarified, 'No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think.' He shared that it will take some time to move on from his previous relationship, sharing that he needs to gather himself first. The cricketer also spoke about the viral picture of him and Mahvash from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai. He shared that it was the first time that he was spotted with someone, and people started the dating buzz. Opening up about how the dating rumours took a toll on them, 'For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker… people said really nasty things. I felt terrible… We could not step out together.' Chahal shared that Mahvash was a rock for him during the tough time in his life, and it pained him to see her getting pulled into the drama surrounding his divorce. Talking about the pictures from Christmas dinner, he said there were five people at the dinner, 'but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date'. There was one more incident which bothered him. It was when they were seen together at a hotel before he left for the airport. Chahal said she was picking him up from a hotel to drop him off at the airport when someone recorded a video. He said he was just fixing his hair, 'and people started saying all sorts of cheap things, like we were coming out of a hotel room. That really hurt me. It was very upsetting'. RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal dating rumours Chahal and Mahvash first sparked dating rumours when they were seen spending time together amid the cricketer's split from his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma. Although Mahvash denied any romantic involvement at the time, clarifying they were just friends, pictures and videos of the two attending a Champions Trophy match together only added fuel to the speculation. Since then, Mahvash has posted messages appreciating Chahal's performance in the IPL, with Chahal himself calling her his 'spine' in one such interaction. Despite the dating buzz, RJ Mahvash has asserted that she is single and often calls out social media users for trolling her about her reported relationship with Chahal.
