"In an age where everything is a number game, I decided to focus on what numbers were actually - to mean the philosophy of numbers, through my artistic eyes. When I see ONE, I am reminded of the supreme Brahman, TWO reminds me of duality and so on. Here I have the number NINE depicting nine emotions - Navarasa." - V V
Ramani.
Ramani is a journalist and an artist in different media. He has done several exhibitions in India and abroad (recently in Malaysia) and was the recipient of the Senior Artist Award in 1997.
Gallery timings are Mondays to Fridays - 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays 9.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
