‘That this mystic colour turns emotional when required, even
sensuous, is the multivalent nature of his art, as are the
points of convergence and divergence, of vertiginous drifts
that could well evolve from psychic conflicts and collisions,
of night that must pale into day just as summer must shrivel
into winter. All as integral to Laxman’s “constructions” as are
the “relationships” of balance, proportion, scale and space
– a world seen as a continuum of metamorphosis.’ (Kamla
Kapoor, Laxman Shreshtha 1993?–1994, exhibition catalogue,
Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, 1994, unpaginated)
