Abhimanyu has it in his genes. I do not intend to say that only those who have it in the genes can flaunt it in the works. Some artists bloom late but bloom well. That also does not mean that the early bloomers are just temporary phenomena. Abhimanyu has a long way to go to be recognized as one of the masters in Indian sculpture but he has got it in him, as one of the contemporary artists after seeing his works puts it, “it all depends on how he could sustain the pressures of the world around him.” Genius artists have this problem. The biggest possible hindrances for them are posed by the world around them. They are visionaries in a blind world or a world which has one eye. The ability of someone to create what others could not see or make are natural sufferers. But as you know after every blue period, there is a pink period, then after that sky is the limit for the artist.
