A very traditional and popular depiction of Lord Ganesha, a Hindu deity, is painted by Lalu Prasad Shaw. The colours viridian green, pastel pink, and vermillion are in contrasting hues and values. The painting consists of the essence and earthiness of folk art. Shaw’s keen interest in minute patterns and lines is prominent here, as one may notice his heavy emphasis and distinct demarcation of lines. This piece beautifully depicts one of the prime gods of the Indian subcontinent.
