“Life is like sand. You can hold it in your hand, but it slips away. I believe that we must leave something behind that lasts and makes an impression, and paintings are my my way of doing that,” says Sudarshan Pattnaik, renowned sand artist, who has won several accolades including the Padma Shri and a Guinness World Record for creating the world’s largest sandcastle, usually on the beaches of Puri, Odisha.
The artist was recently in Chennai, to present his third gallery show Nature’s Rhythm: Sand and Sublime, at the Lalit Kala Akademi. Comprising over 50 art works, the exhibition brought together Sudarshan’s two worlds — paintings and sand. Each work had some element of Nature, and he had used sand from his hometown Puri, where he first began doing sand art.
