Water Color Study of Buddhist ritual items

Study of Buddhist ritual items created in the mood of brown embers is about adding a spiritual hue to the object.This object with a lid is a flat yet two dimensional depiction of a ritual object which when painted reminds us of a way of reducing the radical experimentations that happened in painting in the early 20th century to a kind of detailed intricate shorthand that was both alluring as well as enchanting. Bhattacharjee was an ace at absorbing the banalities of modern life and reproduced them instill life as uncanny objects laden with atmosphere and mood. Still life paintings born of objects have deep stories, whether they are belong to antiquity or old my relics belonging to rituals. Bhattacharjee often told his students that even trees as well as objects all had stories to tell. There is a history and a story to each still life born of the object : that is what he valued about them as works of study.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman.
