There are few works that are abstract but have emotions in it. This work by Bhanu Shah is a fine blend cocktail of music and colours, harmony, and melody. I like to experiment by watching artworks in different ways. From my experience I can say, the most engrossing way to enjoy Shah’s this series is to view it while playing some Indian classical music in the background. This music gives an additional booster to ‘feel’ Shah's work. It gets you to that zone where a normal mind cannot go into the depth of such artworks. Here, Indian classical music is like what cheese is to wine. I wonder how neatly several colours and hues merge with each other maintaining the character of each tone from opaque to transparent.
