Auto-Graphs
( 1990 )

To me, a car is not a means of transport. It is a work of art.
Each model has it's own personality : beautyful lines, curves, forms and colours.
This fascinates me.
I have tried to portray the cars as I have seen them through my lens.

"Such a fascination for black and white in these days of "one hour" colour must be read as
a sign of maturity and confidence. It is the real taste for the artist who "sees" and
makes us see line and form in supposedly mundane details...
His mastery of printing is obvious from the way he plays with the grey scale."
--- Times of India.

Manchekar's work displays his deep knowledge of what makes aesthetic photography.
" This is articulated through his choice of images and compositions.
Even ordinary subjects assume almost mythic proportion..."
--- Indian Express.

"There are very few artists who have chosen photography as their medium of expression.
Manchekar is one of them."
--- Loksatta.
