Lot description
"Fish Painting" is a stunning mixed media paper is a major example of the work of Contemporary Indian artist Anandajit Ray (Indian B. 1965). This surreal, pastiche work combines representational imagery with abstract patterns and a palette based on deep waters painted on electric turquoise blues and greens that integrate the abstract with the representational. The work immediately draws the viewer in with is vibrant center, then holds one with its quietly surreal use of imagery, composition, and theme. This is one of the most visually complex works on paper by Anandajit Ray and a sublime example of why he is one of the most respected and collected Indian artists today. Note: Unframed dimensions: 20 in x 24 inches. Framed dimensions: 27.25 in x 31 in. This work is in excellent condition.
