Dominated by a blue-green colour palette, this Untitled gouache by Ganesh Haloi is representative of the artist’s ethos of creating an extremely personal investigation that is evoked by what he deeply felt and of memories that shaped him. Haloi’s art, then, is a highly contemplative, meditative experience of what was seen and sensed, and how those aspects, literally, melt into a formlessness broken by lines, shapes and motifs in contrasting colours, as shown in this Untitled painting.
