One of India’s most respected artists, K. G. Subramanyan was a contemporary of the Progressives yet charted his own individual path in creating a modern idiom for art, drawing on myths, fables and traditional narratives in a variety of mediums. He stayed true to this journey he had embarked upon, right till the end of his career. In this late career work, Subramanyan re-interprets the myth of goddess Kali in his distinctive style, where the ferocity on her face is unmistakable, as she enters a sacred space to stun the proceedings.
