Happy 90th Birthday Dad. You may no longer be with us, and you were never perfect darling, but you’re still ‘too marvelous’ to forget.

Happy 90th Birthday Dad.

You may no longer be with us, and you were never perfect darling, but you’re still ‘too marvelous’ to forget. We all miss you Dad, and I know you’re sipping a great red and watching the theatre of the world relieved to be out of it. Love you too.

In honour of my father’s memory, I have shared a small part of my memories of him in my New Year’s blog post where I posted a 1985 video of a Perth lecture by the English Benedictine monk Father Bede Griffiths who became a revered Indian spiritual teacher. https://www.carlgopal.com/blogs/happy-chinese-new-year-2023-the-year-of-the-rabbit I remember when he came back from this lecture - he was glowing:)

Over the past two decades, Carl Gopalkrishnan's artwork has garnered international recognition for his ability to forge meaningful connections between art & literature and the complex dynamics driving international law, intervention and global conflict. Carl transforms familiar cultural artefacts into new myths so legal and military minds can explore the creative, subconscious and emotional stories that shape their doctrines of war & peace.
