INDIA---The magic of shilp guru Rathakrishnan’s artistry comes alive in his imposing Nataraja icons. The Nataraja icon has been variously described as “the most perfect representation of rhythmic movement in art,” “a visual sermon expounding compassion and universal power” and as portraying the “very essence of the ongoing unending cycle of life, death and rebirth.” In his superbly crafted collection of Natarajas now on view at an exhibition, shilp guru L. Rathakrishnan captures the anatomical perfection of the Chola icon, its total balance and supreme grace. [link]
