Ashish’s current work, in his words is a “sincere attempt to reflect his interpretation of the socio-cultural ethos” he’s surrounded by and give a modern physical shape to it. One of his early works is a giant Godess sculpture (141 Feet Height) installed in Vrindavan, Mathura under the wide open sky. He has also contributed to mural and relief work for DMRC. As well as designed for Jaipur and Bhadurgarh Iskon temples. For Ashish Tanwar, his sculptures are expressions of his thoughts and a journey to seek out and reach his inner soul. His constant quest for spirituality finds expressions in his work. For him, it is not only important to express the outer form but also to use it in relation with the spiritual vitality. Ashish’s ability to let his intuition guide him through the distance between the conception and realization without compromising the integrity of the original idea, can be seen in many of his works.
