"My childhood memories revolve around Kolkata. The sounds and smells of this city fill my being. I love Kolkata." Ganesh Pyne’s drawing on grid paper is a labyrinthine exploration of introspection and critique. The cluttered yet deliberate strokes capture a bearded figure, evoking the contemplative presence of a prolific figure, amidst a series of enigmatic sketches. This artwork serves as Pyne's subtle commentary on socio-cultural phenomena and invites viewers to enter a maze of thought where the retreat is impossible, emphasising the inexorable journey of artistic creation. Pyne’s work embodies the sense of wonder that fuels creativity, blending reality with the surreal to challenge perceptions and provoke deeper reflection.
