Manoj Dutta Indian, b. 1956
Manoj Dutta recreates a universe in which the imaginary and the actual coexist together. A gorgeous horse sits poised against a bright crimson sky as its wings glisten with minute detail and texture. Below the face of the horse, a crescent moon has arrived from the sky to indulge in a playful gesture. The scattered background with little settlements, and austere appearance contrasting with that of the wonderful creature, Dutta breathes life into this enchanted scene, where everyday moments are touched upon by the extraordinaire.
