K.S. KULKARNI (INDIA, 1916–1994) – ABSTRACT COMPOSITION WITH GEOMETRIC FORMS, CHARCOAL ON PAPER

AN INTRICATE ABSTRACT COMPOSITION BY K.S. KULKARNI EXECUTED IN CHARCOAL ON PAPER, FEATURING A HARMONIOUS ARRANGEMENT OF GEOMETRIC SHAPES, LINEAR PATTERNS, AND CIRCULAR MOTIFS. THE ARTWORK DISPLAYS A BALANCED INTERPLAY OF STRUCTURED FORMS AND DECORATIVE ELEMENTS, CREATING A DYNAMIC AND RHYTHMIC VISUAL EXPERIENCE.

THE ARTIST’S MODERNIST APPROACH IS EVIDENT IN THE PRECISION OF LINE WORK AND THE REPEATED USE OF PATTERNS THAT ADD DEPTH AND MOVEMENT TO THE COMPOSITION. CONTRASTING TEXTURES AND VARIED TONAL SHADING ENHANCE THE OVERALL SPATIAL QUALITY, MAKING THIS CHARCOAL ON PAPER WORK A DISTINCTIVE EXAMPLE OF KULKARNI’S EXPERIMENTATION WITH ABSTRACT STRUCTURE AND FORM, IDEAL FOR COLLECTORS OF INDIAN MODERN ART.
