The Village at Night / The Night at Anode

In what looks like an aerial view, this painting by Prokash Karmakar is innovative in the way it has been structured and organised. The geometrical proportions and dimensions tease the viewer in a manner that places various elements—the trees, an owl, a lone figure—with light streaming in a manner to remind us that it just might be a scene glimpsed from a window; the crescent moon, interestingly in yellow, against inky blue skies; a pathway highlighted in brick red.
