In Hindu mythology the story of Radha and Krishna symbolises divine love and devotion. Their relationship represents the deep spiritual connection between the human soul (Radha) and the divine (Krishna). One of the most symbolic moments in their story is the exchange of garments in the forest - an act that signifies their deep spiritual connection and unity. By wearing each other’s clothes, Radha and Krishna not only express the intensity of their love, but also the merging of their identities. Together, they represent the pinnacle of love, devotion and spiritual awakening - an enduring theme in Indian art, poetry and worship.

Biography

Mary Fedden, RA (1915-2012)

A hugely popular and very recognisable artist. Her subject matter was frequently still life, often placed in front of a landscape. She often emphasised the quirky elements and when painting in watercolour she enjoyed the rough texture of hand made paper.
