This composition by eminent artist Badari Narayan depicts his inclination towards mythology and folklore, intermixed with his idiosyncratic and very original manner of depicting his subjects. This work traverses within a subtle to vibrant monochromatic colour scheme that fills the work with intensity, while the gaze of the figure golding the bird instantly connects the viewer with the composition. There is no doubt that Badari Narayan’s art comes alive at this interface between myth and reality, like a cross between traditional and modern.
