“Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and
function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” - Frank Lloyd Wright
Organic forms that occur naturally have non-uniformity in their shape, while geometric forms have uniform edges and are mostly man-made. Interestingly, on closer observation organic forms usually take a larger geometric shape in unison while geometric patterns tend to look like organic growth at a macro view. Molecules in gaseous form take spherical shape naturally. Snowflakes at microscopic view look geometric. It is paradoxical to state that this series is an ‘organic’ geometry of sorts in Sachin’s range of artworks.
The word “Genesis” needs no explanation. It simply is an origin, root or source. At the beginning of his career, Sachin was most inspired by the architectural marvels of a city and its horizons. He spent many years living in a city (initially in Mumbai and now in Pune), he understood that every settlement had a different story, different needs and therefore took it’s unique form. This series is an artistic view of the expanses of modern settlements, which finds a symmetry between the principles of parametric, minimalism and generative architecture.
