Arpana Caur Indian, b. 1954
Arpana has employed a vibrant colour palette with neon hues
that are accentuated by a black background. The painting is symbolic in nature
and pictorial in its treatment, where the artist employed a modern gaze to look
at the historical subject. There is also an aspect of spiritual and grounded
love that is symbolized by the earthen pot, the painting has a pronounced
impact on the vintage journalistic prints as witnessed in the font used,
showcasing a very whimsical representation of a tragedy immortalized in
literature and pop culture.
