Dr. Laxman Kewalramani, born in India, relocated
to the United States to further his studies in bone and joint
care, spinal diseases, and pain management. During his
years in academia he became known worldwide as an expert in his
field, and he later worked at several leading spinal centers in
the United States. In 1982 he opened his own private practice in
New Orleans, Louisiana.
Besides being well known in his field and presently a practicing
physician, Dr. Kewalramani is not only a passionate lover and
collector of art, but is an artist himself. From childhood he
was fascinated by the allegory between the flight of kites and
life. In his large, colorful abstract paintings he
explores the possibilities of forces determining the ups and
downs of human lives, facets of relationships, and family
interaction. His works acknowledge the influences of important
artists such as Jackson Pollock and Sam Francis, for whom he
holds great admiration. His bright colors and techniques
of paint application allow the observer viewing his painting to
feel inspired by the various emotions represented both on a
conscious and subconscious level.
Dr. Kewalramani says, "My paintings are depictions of my human
emotions, strengths and frailties. They show my struggles
between love and hate, and life and death. In my paintings, the
kite represents our energies and life forces, and our
interactions with each other and the world around us".In addition to actively
practicing medicine, he has studied painting under Gustavo Duque
for three years. In September, 2001, Laxman K.
debuted his spirited artwork with great success in Miami at 1221
Brickell Avenue. On June 2003, Laxman K. debuted his new
collection entitled "Inside - Out" at the Duque Art Center
- New Orleans, LA with
great success. Recently his artwork was
included in Casa & Estilo Internacional, "Arte Vol. 2"
