Untitled (Bull)

When he travelled to Spain in the 1960s, Sunil Das was fascinated by the tradition of bull fights. It was then that Das’s romance with the bull took root—just as his love affair with horses preceded it—and he worked on a series of paintings and drawings of bulls at the time. Known to move freely between styles, using not only brushes and pens, but also his fingers and the palm of his hands to create his paintings, Das recreates in Untitled (Bull) a remarkable stance of the animal as it prepares to charge.
