Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I deleted your article because
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: noted Indian painter... while pursuing his strong interest in the visual arts... work has gained wide critical acclaim... one of India’s major artists... an equal and independent importance along with his paintings... In the painting of this decade, Sudhir Patwardhan addresses the laboring body as presence and symbol... &mdash; and much more in the same vein. It's an uncritical eulogy, written more as a glowing review than a neutral encyclopaedia article.
 * It did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Your references were not in line, so it's difficult to see what facts they are supporting. And I see from the refs that you are editing on behalf of a gallery,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  09:29, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  09:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

KEY WORKS
Irani Restaurant, oil 1977. Image courtesy: Sudhir Patwardhan

“A squat-built man is portrayed at rest in an Irani café, perhaps in Bombay’s colonial Fort quarter, furnished with its distinctive marble-topped tables, pier glasses and Polish bentwood chairs. The city is figured through the restaurant’s habitués- who belong to various classes and ethnic groups and are engaged in comfortable conversation- as an inclusive, cosmopolitan space. We see the denizens of the café in its mirrors, so that they appear to be seated on our side of the frame; we ourselves are thus invited into the painting’s fictive space. By emphasizing the voluntary nature of human association- by welcoming labourers, writers, film-makers and painters alike- the Irani café became a symbol of liberalism like its forerunners in Paris and Vienna. Between the 1930s and the 1970s, in particular, it acted as a site for the circulation of new ideas, opinions and communities. In Patwardhan’s assessment, the public sphere made possible here is the one real guarantee of a civil society, the one bulwark against the state’s encroachments as well as the bigotry of ethnic or religious exclusivists; in 1977, as a Prime Minister Indira Gandhi lifted the draconian emblem of free speech and spontaneous assembly.” - Ranjit Hoskote  in The Complicit Observer published by Sakshi Gallery.

Sudhir Patwardhan’s oil on canvas titled Couple 41” x 36” 1976. Image courtesy The Guild.

Sudhir Patwardhan’s Couple, oil on canvas from 1976, seems to refer to the teeming yet constrictive nature of the people living in Mumbai. In Couple a man and a woman sit side by side, the woman’s torso faces forward while her head faces right, away from the man. The man sits with one hand in his lap and one on the woman’s thigh. Set within the brooding dark background, which offsets the skin of the couple, the portrait of an intimate space, a dark brooding alienating space, echoing repressive sexuality mingled with discontent and stoic acceptance. The skin of the couple is glowing in some parts of the upper torso, the color of golden beetroots in the sun, while in the lower half, deeper yellow ochre. A few sections of the skin ranging from vivid green to bruised and darkened browns and rust, suggests decay, and fear. The work is both evocative and deeply disturbing and presents the couple as figures that speak of isolation and familiarity echoing the nature of the human, as an individual and as a part of a whole, constantly negotiating between the sense of the incomplete and the inevitable. - Renuka Sawhney from A Floating Object. The Guild Collection – Series I – 2012.

Ulhasnagar,2001. Image courtesy: Sudhir Patwardhan

“… Sudhir Patwardhan would feel uncomfortable about the word ‘spiritual’ being applied to his painting ‘ Ulhasnagar. The commitment to Marxist ideology that possibly has strongest hold on him is confidence in the material world we have, with any certainity.To deprecate it would be folly…

…The work is conceived as a monumental horizontal in four panels, each panel being four feet square. When set up on the wall a slight gap of space is intended between adjacentpanels. The painting is visually continuous from one panel to the next, but the gaps in space act as a break on our presumption…

…In the leftmost panel the river starts from a pale purple, advancing to become a rich mauve. It is both refreshing water and chemically polluted drainage. The rippling of the river is as one would except it to be. In the second panel the rippling changes to become a disturbing vortex, the colour is a churning crimson. The carcass of a dead buffalo floats on the bank. The buildings towering above the bank are cavernous, with dramatic lighted and dark windows. If you were to step into that vortex of water you might enter hell… “- Gieve Patel in Gieve Patel- Sudhir Patwardhan. published by Bose Pacia.

Father’s Story, 2012. Image courtesy: The Guild

“It shows the artist and his father seated on a bench on a platform. A barely visible station name board introduces an allusion to travelling although it is not physical travelling but life’s journey that is the subject of the painting. The other man is speaking and holds the hand of his son who is listening. They sit apart and do not look at each other but that holding and that speaking are necessary, especially for the father. And behind them is a wide open field edged with houses, and in them are figures of women and men, young and old, idle or at work. There are also tiny figures of boys at play and laboures at work at the far end of the field. It is an image of a past life brought alive through a story passed on from father to son.” – R. Siva Kumar from Route Maps, published by The Guild.
