Manoj Dutta's 'Spring' features a dramatic red background, a white vase filled with vivid yellow flowers and crawled upon by ants. The ants' scuttling evokes rhythmic progress along with the germinating twigs from the vase, which represents the cyclical nature of existence. "Spring" reflects Dutta's love of folk artists and his skill at capturing unique moods using a range of hues and flowing lines. It is an elegant depiction of rebirth, natural seasons, sustenance and vigour.
