The intent of the study is to understand the creative forces behind the minds of creative people. My deep interest in visual art, especially painting, led me to take up 'an artist' for this project. The works of Sadhana Raddi have fascinated me ever since I met her during one of her exhibitions at Jahangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, last year. This project is a good platform to learn about and understand the approach of Sadhana Raddi in the creative realm. For ease of study, the research will be divided into three parts, which will cover various aspects of the projects. The work will happen simultaneously in all three domains, but to make it more comprehensible, I will explain them in three parts. The first part will cover the study of Indian and Western art history. It will also include studying the various art movements and artwork of different contemporary artists across the globe. Studying the diverse schools of thought that sprouted in the West and their influences on the post-independence Indian art scene will also be interesting. This part of the study will essentially accustom me to the art world and will give me an overall perspective of the art scene in India and the West.
In the second part, I will be meeting Sadhana Raddi. A series of conversations with her will be recorded and transcribed. Watching her at work in her studio will also reveal many aspects of her creativity. Meeting her over a period of time and talking about her work, her thought process, and her idea of creativity The third and final part will comprise viewing the artwork of Sadhana Raddi in relation to the study of art history done in the first part. It will essentially contain my impressions of her work. Viewing Sadhana Raddi in the spectrum of the art world will be the focus of this part. Understanding the creative aspects that are unique to her, her style, and her approach towards art will be seen in relation to happenings in the art world. A brief note about the background of an artist will explain her achievements. Sadhana Raddi is educated and lives in Mumbai. Her studio is located in Chandivali, Mumbai. She has been working and exhibiting since 1999.
