?If the sunset could float down a river and the clouds be gathered in the palm of one?s hand then Rajendra Dhawan is truly India?s Rothko with a karmic echo! His facile landscapes help us to discover a great deal from the older artist about how to free the eye and the hand. Those indefinite outlines in the landscapes are not the evidence of secure containment, but of the essence in things struggling to escape?they are, so to speak, the formlessness of nature captured in different moods of light. Works produced during the past 30 years in his Paris period have a tight grip on everything that is numinous in the land?and sky-scapes he saw around him.? Uma Nair, Bodhi Art, 2005
