Arup Das, known for his figurative works and murals, also ventured into abstraction, as seen in this piece. A prolific artist skilled in various mediums, Das demonstrates his versatility in this cityscape. The central focus appears to be a prominent building, possibly a church with a steeple, set within a monochromatic palette of blacks and greys that evoke depth and shadow.
The style is abstract or impressionistic, with loose, gestural brushstrokes defining the scene's structures and forms. The composition is asymmetrical, with the central building slightly off- center, while lines radiate outward, suggesting surrounding streets or pathways. The use of shadow and minimal detail creates a sense of stillness and quiet, evoking a touch of melancholy and mystery. The lack of precise detail enhances the ambiguity of the scene, inviting the viewer to experience the essence of the city rather than a literal representation.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
