According to Indian mythology, trees or vrikshas were the

offspring of Anala who was married to the great sage

Kashyapa.. They have a great significant role in our cultural

landscape for they not only yield fruits but provide shade as

well and cover and protect the earth's surface and have

come to assume over the years even a sacred role.

Bhaskar's leitmotif - "'The Tree" has remained constant as

part of his oeuvre over the years in his career as a painter. At

a cursory glance at his body of work, though it may appear

that he seems to be involved and articulating his ideas

through his vision of a landscape, it is primarily the image of 

the tree which stands out - which he keeps returning to over

the years. Bhaskar has painted and drawn trees in myriad

mediums and yet everytime he has returned to it with a new

vision. In black and white, sombre greys or bright primary

colours, the tree stands out resplendently, a sentinal to

remind us of the havoc we seem to cause on the sacred face

of the earth in our pursuit of selfish interests.

Prof. V. Ramesh
