“The artist offers his work to his art in the sanctuary of all expression, which I like to call the Treasury of the Shadow, lying in that ambiance: Light to Silence, Silence to Light. Light is the giver of presence, casts its shadow, which belongs to Light. What is made belongs to Light and to Desire.” - Between Silence And Light, by John Lobell.

Sachin Tekade is inspired by the architectural philosophy of Louis I. Kahn, who believed in the power of silence and light. By exploring this concept within the realms of paper, Sachin wanted to create a sense of timelessness. What captured his imagination while studying Kahn’s architecture is the transcendent quality and a spiritual connection in the spaces. If Sachin’s art were manifested into a real life structure then the viewers entering it would be enveloped in a sense of serenity and contemplative silence. In his own words, the artist says, “Silence is like a prayer answered when your expectations cease to be. The world is watching you unravel but you know you are losing yourself in the light of nothingness.” Light is omni-present, it is an essential component in this series. When he carves out the minimal forms, the contour and feelings evoked are taking shape due to the falling light. Whereas the Silence is like time, it is the fourth dimension in Sachin’s work of art.
