Satish Gujral Indian, 1925-2020
This
specific artwork also shows an extensive exploration of Indian social history,
as he attempts to portray the simplicity in life, where the marginalized occupy
the center stage. This particular work seems to be an ideological
interpretation by Gujral who has portrayed an umbrella seller in a format that
is filled with elements of surrealism.
Positioned
against a complementary colour palette, the solitary achromatic figure embodies
several anecdotes that speak to the observer on a personal level. Bringing back
memories for many of when they would stroll in the lanes of a bazaar during the monsoons, as the
seller sets up his shop and begins the day anew.
