“I like to paint animals more than humans. In terms of form, they are far stronger and with their four limbs, they occupy a lot of space.” Ganesh Pyne captures the essence of brooding introspection and the enigma of human melancholia as a part of his brilliant series. The grid paper hosts a series of allegorical sketches, blending animal, figurative and abstract elements. Dominated by a contemplative figure and mysterious scenes, this artwork delves into themes of identity, solitude, and perception that identify with the Indian epic Mahabharata. This piece is a unique testament to Pyne's unparalleled ability to weave narrative and symbolism into a compelling visual tapestry.
