Frank
Bonnet....
For a man intrigued by the splendor
of detail, vegetation presents a limitless source of inspiration.
Where most would satisfy themselves with merely looking,
Frank sees – and then some more. Throughout his artistic
career, Frank has recorded the wonders of plant life, in
all its stages. Sprouting, budding, blossoming, wilting
or withering, Frank’s inquisitive lenses invariably bring
out the mysteries and unequivocal beauty that each phase
holds. His resulting images depict at once the ephemeral,
the stunning complexity and the proud resilience of what
is to most of us ’just a flower’.

Madhavi
Swarup....
Madhavi clearly has a passion for
India’s heritage. Her photographs are as much a desire to
create a beautiful image as a tribute to the skills of the
country’s minds and architects of the past. Drawing on the
versatility and purity of analogue black and white celluloid
and print paper, Madhavi conjures up a familiar yet thoroughly
unexplored world. Her handprints have a strong tactile quality;
one feels the urge to reach out and touch - to feel the
roughness of the stone and the warmth of the sunlight. At
the same time, her penchant for strong lines and juxtapositions
adds a delightful touch of other-worldliness to these works.
Madhavi likes to apply the panoramic format – a format ideally
suited to the human eye. It provides a natural horizon and
makes us feel part of the scene presented. We are excited
to see where Madhavi’s explorations of India’s rich tradition
will bring us next. The works on display here are certainly
an excellent indication of what lies in store.
