Product Description

Ganesh Haloi was born in Jamalpur, in present-day Bangladesh, in 1936, and moved to Kolkata in 1950. The set of paintings explored in this volume, also exhibited at a show of the same name, has a specific association with nature in water bodies. Haloi’s observation of the submerged and floating aquatic plants, their gentle movements and lifecycle has been an enchanting experience, which resurrects continually through glowing layers of colours and floating shapes and lines. He also induces an incessant drama that seems to be an organic part of nature and independent of any human intervention. But when this hydrosphere dries up or disappears, Haloi reacts profoundly with an inevitable pain. This volume attempts to illuminate these recent works and their expression of a pain that is personal as much as it is historical.
