The Secret World of Mehlli Gobhai: The Man Who Found Art Everywhere

Mehlli Gobhai found art all around. He saw beyond what lives on the surface and closely observed the living and the non-living interact. For instance, Gobhai is attracted to murky waters that flow in Indian rather than the crystal clear streams in the US because ‘it will leave some mud on the banks and other things will grow’. The book introduces readers to the inspiring journey of an artist who sees the world and modern art through a welcoming lens.
