Manoj Dutta Indian, b. 1956
Manoj Dutta's "Rest" captures waterfowl nestled in lush foliage, using tempera on board to create an atmosphere for nights that calls for rest after day’s toil. The ducks, framed by leaves and a moon, transform this quiet moment into a pause and reflection on the beauty of serene stillness amidst the sonorous dance of life. Dutta’s imagery defines the nuance and essence of the country life that his visual memory is marked by and seeps into his practice.
