Artwork Description

Floating Debris

0.0 x 0.0

40" x 40". Oil on canvas. A truly meditative frame. Apart from the flat, light- absorbing blue-grey of the background, there are two textures used in this painting – one of what looks like a cut-stone surface or overlapping gauges, and the other of a mossy rock. Both of them familiar in Prabha’s language. But it’s the use of space that makes the viewer’s mind float serenely, without a wave on the surface. The pieces in the middle are like rocks across a pool painted with overlapping horizontal strokes, leading one to an unseen other side. Is that the key to the meditation? No, it’s the shaft of blue-grey towards the right that brings out the frame’s inner balance. That’s what anchors the quietude.
