Untitled

Exhibiting her work since the Eighties, Jaya Ganguly gives her figures a distinctive character through the treatment of the subjects in her paintings. She builds up her paintings in such a manner that gives these figures a life force, a rare quality of their own. This Untitled painting is charged with a sexual energy, showing motifs resembling reproductive organs, and borrows, quite possibly, from the philosophy of Shiv-Shakti, from the yin-yang tradition, from the balance of the male-female power.
