A powerful and complex poem that is brilliantly illustrated, this book stands as a strong critique of contemporary society. It communicates this through a series of complex illustrations, mostly abstract and in collage-form, and in pull-out ‘spread’ sheets seen through transluscent verses of the poem, as though the words reflect the deeper structures and events in society. Provocative and prospective in equal measure, this work has the quality of a musuem art show captured in a book, with minimal curatorial text.
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.
