Frames of Sufi spirituality exhibited in art

New Delhi, Jul 2 (PTI) While the fracas of modern-day living continues, a collection of intense photographs by maverick lensman Ashok Kochhar seek to part the mist on spirituality and offer a journey to the inner self.

Titled 'The Journey of a Mystic', a series of 30 photographs on Sufism on exhibit in the national capital represent what Kochhar calls "spiritual art photography."

"I create images where there is nothing," says the photographer who left his engineering job to dabble as a painter and later took on photography.

"My work is inspired by spiritualism. The first chapter is on Sufism and the other two are based on Lord Krishna and Buddha," says Kochar who is doing his first solo show here.

The 30 plates exhibited are dominated by brown green and black exhibited show evolution and its various stages, like the quest for knowledge, truth and various other desires.
