In curator Ashvin Rajagopalan’s words: C Douglas is the “quintessential artist”.
Unpredictable, chaotic and layered, his art is but a reflection of the person he is. And so, it comes as no surprise that he refused to speak for this piece. His canvases, however, speak volumes. Displayed at Gallery Veda, with four ceramic companions at Ashvita’s Gallery, the collaborative show is a window into Douglas’ world — a world, though famed, that is rarely on display. It has been more than a decade since Chennai saw a solo show of the veteran’s work.
