K. H. Ara’s art comprised a deeply profound and personal language with the artist creating works from his lived experiences. This Untitled work from the 1960s is lively, pulsating with energy, and bearing incredible strength. Two beasts form the central focus of the work; they are ranged against each other and are surrounded by Lilliputian people. Ara, known for his paintings of nudes and still-lifes, here takes a break to create a work of enduring significance.
