Amid living matter and endless space, C.R. Manmadhan Juxtaposes Shiva and Parvati with a contrasting red spot that represents the enigmatic "god particle" of physics, after which this work is titled. Based in Kochi, Manmadhan, 65, took to art seriously after he retired in 2006 as News Editor of Mathrubhumi, the Malayalam daily. He says that his works, whether acrylics or digital, draw from all his resources, including his training as a journalist and his master's degree in zoology. Manmadhan recently held third solo exhibition at David Hall, Fort Kochi.
