Title: Ganesha Ensemble
Medium: Oil on Canvas
This painting features a composition of the elephant-headed deity in a theme known as Sangeet Ganesha (Musical Ganesha).
Moving away from the singular icon used for worship, the artist presents a narrative ensemble, celebrating Ganesha as the patron of arts and sciences (Kala and Vidya). The painting utilizes a horizontal frieze composition, featuring five figures each rendered in a distinct hue. The figures are engaged with classical Indian instrumentation, including the Tabla (percussion), Bansuri (bamboo flute), and Veena (string). The work blends devotional subject matter with a contemporary aesthetic.
