Catalogue of solo exhibition by Jehangir Sabavala at Sakshi Gallery and Palette Art Gallery in 2007. 'The most distinctive feature of Sabavala's practice is his continuing devotion to the classical ideals of beauty and serenity, however threatened they may be in a period of absolute war, programmed genocide and forced migration, when human experience has pushed art towards the extreme conditions of the sublime and the grotesque, the terrifying and the horrible. To Sabavala, beauty remains an experience of grace to be cherished, a state of illumination that gives us the strength to endure existence.' - extracted from essay by Ranjit Hoskote. Aritist biography is provided in the catalogue.
