My fascination towards this master craftsman evolved when I had witnessed his draftsmanship. A great human being with a positive approach and vast vision, are the few words which I can easily say on Madanlal Ji. His works dragged my interest more to know about him and had a hidden wish to work with him as well. My meeting with Madanlal Ji had boosted my moral on a great extent. His view towards everything adds value to a different context; in fact his representation of nature and its elements hails the constructive and creative atelier of the artist. Many instances with Madanlal Ji have grown my desire of working with Madanlal Ji on pinnacle peak and today this dream has a signature. After a long time I am glad to be a part of Madanlal’s book louche and solo show of drawings and sculpture. His series of work carries a different wave of inner creation and somber attitude. His vision towards the nature and its organic approach is well cultivated in this series of work.

I am glad to have his show in the Creativity Art Gallery. It will be a delightful job to see the physicality of pleasure in the form of his sculptures and drawings. His association with my gallery bears the span of a long time and this is a tribute which I am honored to pay. Being a part of his book written by Toshaki Minemura places me on a throne of pleasure.

I, on behalf of my team the Creativity Art Gallery, wish him great success and I am sure that this will be a day which history is going to save.

With Regards
