Noted art critic, curator and historian Ranjit Hoskote, speaking about Sakti Burman’s art commented: ‘Sakti [through his art] takes us deeper… into his own life… in the space of excitement, exhilaration, anxiety and epiphany between two distinct cultures.’ Burman’s leitmotif is nostalgia, reproduced in his paintings through his ‘marbling’ technique created when drops of water combine with oil paint. In his art, we journey into the artist’s life that’s filled with familiar people and glimpsed strangers, showing a world of people’s imagination, their thoughts and desires.
