Untitled

Avinash Chandra’s landscape paintings, just before they began to morph into humanscapes, consisted of cathedral-like architecture rendered with a pen—London-based critics described it as ‘patterns’ from his homeland—ascending to some celestial crescendo of forms. His particular use of ink colours lent a magical quality to the paintings of which this Untitled work is an example. In describing only their structural outlines, he achieved a grandeur that bestowed these paintings with a sense of timelessness and character.
