Ram Kumar Indian, 1924-2018
Ram Kumar's vehement abstract captures a dynamic interplay of colours, exploration of surfaces and textures. The composition, rich with ochres, deep browns, and vivid blues, encompasses a ‘vihara’ in its vicinity. Each brushstroke reveals a deep rooted entanglement with religiosity towards expression, which reflects a yearning towards transcendental experience. Providing an illusion of far-stretched view, the alluding play of perspective with geometrical fragmentation is the remarkable quality of the piece.
