Description

This sculptural work by Padma Shri Brahmadeo Pandit exemplifies the artist’s profound command over ceramic form and glaze chemistry. Mounted on a cylindrical, wood-textured base, the oval structure rises with quiet gravitas, its surface animated by a rich interplay of hues—cobalt blue, verdant green, milky white, and earthy reds. These colors do not merely decorate; they emerge through a meticulous layering of mineral oxides and firing techniques, revealing Pandit’s deep engagement with the transformative nature of heat and material.

The textured glaze, etched and variegated, evokes geological formations and cosmic terrains, suggesting both the intimacy of touch and the vastness of elemental forces. Each chromatic shift is a testament to the artist’s alchemical intuition—where chemistry becomes poetry, and surface becomes story. The sculpture stands as a contemporary relic, bridging tradition and experimentation, and invites contemplation on the enduring relationship between craft, nature, and spirit.
