Journey of an Antique

There is an intensity and a sense of lyricism and rhythm in the Journey of an Antique, which is done in Dharmanarayan Dasgupta’s signature style. Just when we think that the painting is an ode to a romanticised Indianness in art with the flora and fauna painted in the vein of miniature painting, Dasgupta creates an overall visual syntax with inherent modernism and a personalised visual vocabulary. He creates, through his masterful brushstrokes, a work that is timeless and elegant.
