“A painting can portray a painting. But it does not mean it’s just portraiture. Graphic has its own vocabulary. The poetry affected me. And I tried to paint the effect, not the idea.” Satish Gujral's painting is an evocative depiction of musical harmony, cultural tradition and experiences steeped in his memory of lifetime. The juxtaposition of metallic textures against a vivid red backdrop highlights the rhythmic energy and spiritual resonance of the scene. Encased within a luminescent border, Gujral’s benchmark style of recreating figures, emerging from the textural surface, constantly reveals his knack of producing newer narratives reflecting on the society and shifts in perception.
