A consummate draughtsman, painter, sculptor, architect and writer, Satish Gujral’s
artistic career has spanned more than six decades and several media and genres.
The present lot, painted in 1992, is similar to some works from the same year
which focussed on Christian themes and religious iconography. The textured
grainy canvas and the dark palette were characteristic of his paintings from this
period, as were the abstract contouring forms, which were evident in his burnt
wood sculptures as well.
