Among the names that dominated Sotheby's auction of contemporary Indian art which concluded recently in New York was the renowned painter Ganesh Pyne. The diminutive artist from Kolkata stole the show with his painstaking intimate work on the tempera medium finds two paintings on paper went for $20,000 each. A price which was 6 times the estimated high-end value.
The foremost exponent of Bengal School of Art Ganesh Pyne has blended romanticism, fantasy and inventive play of light and dark in his works wherein the labyrinths of the subconscious have formulated the imagery of his paintings. His own experiences of pain, solitude, alienation, horror shaped up his signature style.
Ganesh Pyne is obsessed with death. He can't forget his first brush with death, in the summer of 1946, when communal riots had rocked Kolkata. His family was forced out of their crumbling mansion. As he roamed around the city, he stumbled upon a pile of dead bodies. On the top was the body of a stark naked old woman, with wounds on her breast. No wonder then his paintings rarely have light backgrounds, and blue and black happens to be his favourite colours. Death also finds its way back into his canvas through different motifs. Working mostly in tempera, his paintings are rich in imagery and symbolism.
