In Ganesh Haloi’s art aesthetic, seemingly contrary or opposing forces may complement each other, getting interconnected by way of colour, form, and texture. The use of lines, represented in this Untitled work, becomes a device in drawing the eye across different surface planes even as the stray shapes, dominated in blues, create a mystery around the larger background. Is this a lived space? Is the artist’s journey into abstraction, which he creates in this Untitled work, emerging from a memory, a prior experience?
