The Taj Mahal had wowed a young boy from Gwalior on that one day in the year when all lights of the monument are turned off, and it dazzles like a pearl under the soft shine of a hovering full moon. “I have witnessed this phenomenon several times,” recalls 73-year-old Vinod Kanjwani, who now resides in Worli. And so naturally, when he picked up the paintbrush years after he gave it up due to financial responsibilities, the surreal beauty of the monument was one of his first subjects that he created.
His self-taught style of art, he tells us, is 3-D painting on canvas. “I used chabutra (a raised platform) to create the monument against the flat background of a dark sky. Pearls are used atop domes too,” Kanjwani explains. This is one of the 20 paintings by the septuagenarian that will be displayed in his first-ever exhibition at Worli’s Nehru Centre Art Gallery, starting today.
