Nandan Purkayastha Indian, b. 1986
152.4 x 162.6 cm
In "Yali," Nandan Purkayastha conjures exuberance, where
varmints, human forms, and lush flora intertwine in harmonious chaos. The
compact composition resonates with a universal oneness, drawing from global
traditions. Kathakali dancers, majestic tigers, and Westernised visages orbit a
resplendent blue goddess, mirroring the artist's rich cultural odyssey. Myths
and ancient stories intertwine with modern aesthetics, reshaping perception and
inviting viewers into a cerebral, utopian dialogue.
