A sense of spirituality exudes from Qadri’s punctured paper compositions. Initiated into yogic practice at age seven, Qadri expanded his psychical proclivity with meditation, dance and music. His close association with S. H. Raza, J. Swaminathan, M.F. Husain and Ram Kumar were as influential as the European artists he interacted with—Surrealist painter Rene Magritte and architect Le Corbusier.
