Entering the Zone III

Excerpt from Kamala Kapoor, The Art Of Vivan Sundaram, Lustre Press, Roli Books, New Delhi, 2002:


'The work through a surface agitated by a scrim of dense, frenetic marks and half images to a sense of dark foreboding; to involute, elemental forms and their threatening dynamics. Vivan Sundaram said, 'The passage of white, and the intensity of black, provide so much contrast that what you discover would of necessity be the zone of grey representing a levelling down, the barest, the minimal, which is all your eye and soul can take in.''
