SOLILOQUIES: Notes from the drawing book by Sunil Padwal. This drawing series by Sunil Padwal is an attempt to bring a form to all that unsettles you, all the fragmented expressions – affected by hundreds of questions.
This particular feeling of your own observation of reality you want to express in some ways- is a kind of a monologue or rather soliloquy. These drawings are culmination of those layers of expressions intended to give the illusion of unspoken reflections.
Sunil Padwal hosted a preview for his solo show after a gap of four years, with wife Tanuja Padwal at Gallery BMB, Mumbai on Thursday 15th December 2011.

Although inspired by reality, they are however semi abstract and fictional -a metaphoric imagery letting way for hundreds of overlapping thoughts.
While depicting and transforming these sensitive thoughts into line drawings,
the
line played an integral role in creating a new form, far more complex and
intricate.
These drawings are my
voice, a way of questioning and looking at the reality
of the noisy polluted fragile life of ours.”
