Nandan Purkayastha's astounding painting illustrates an abstract and composite form that shines out against a vibrant crimson background. The detailed black-and-white linework combines to create a dramatic, almost sculptural presence, transporting spectators into a world of contemplation, traditional lore, social concerns and mystery. Purkayastha's rigorous effort and devotion are evident in this artwork, which embraces human and ecological colours with burlesque grandeur.
