Artwork Description

Suburbia

0.0 x 0.0

40" x 40". Oil on canvas Unpainted cement surfaces, iron and steel, and maybe asbestos, too. All add up to heaped blocks of suburban flats that are a recurrent subject to Prabha. But the hide- and-seek orange that she usually reserves for edges of tiled roof creeps into this impersonal dystopia. The whole surface is treated in strips – at the centre, and to its left, bottom and right. The sky can be peeled off, almost. A not-so-common texture for the painter in not-so-common, rectangular colour fields.?
