Ink on paper

Anyone familiar with the pre-historic cave paintings of Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh will find a similarity in the squirming patterns in this ink on paper work by Ambadas. The patches of scratches are apparently irregular but conceal beneath them some forms, which have a striking resemblance to the limbs of animals painted in the rock shelters of Bhimbetka 10,000 years ago. This is how those paintings must have been when first brought to light to modern world in the late nineteenth century, covered in smudges of mud and grime. An inherent movement in the individual patches is also discernible.
