Artwork Description

Land, Water and God

0.0 x 0.0

50" x 24". Oil on Canvas. Though this was painted years before flash floods claimed hundreds of lives and devastated vast tracts of built-up land near temples in the Himalayas in 2013, it depicts the horror of such a situation all too plainly. A huge gush of water ploughing through habitations and upsetting the neat geometry of man-made streets is a reminder, once more, of the clash between nature and the rampant expansion of man’s concrete jungles all over the world. The frothy blue surface, too, is ripped across by a white welt. Nothing is too sacred in front of onrushing nature. Everything may perish, even in the land of god.?
