An interesting technique invented by Bendre who is incidentally also an architect and town planner by qualification, the current series are result of painstaking work. First, the artist creates his layered works on canvas.

For, Bendre finds great excitement in communicating through the element of graphic forms, complete with negative and positive forms and spaces. Credit: Varinder chawla
