This work by the eminent artist S.H. Raza is rather mystical. The colour palette is warm, and the overall mood is melancholic. The brush-strokes are aggressive, restless, and carefree. This kind of aggression is very rare in Raza’s oeuvre, as his visual vocabulary is very distilled and concentrated in both the early and later phases. Hence, this piece perhaps belongs to the transitory period - an interesting angle to look at the artist’s vulnerabilities and sheer rawness.
