THIS COMPOSITION BY K.S. KULKARNI PRESENTS A STYLIZED, ALMOST MECHANICAL FIGURAL FORM INTERWOVEN WITH GEOMETRIC AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. RENDERED IN SOFT PASTEL AND GRAPHITE, THE FIGURE APPEARS BOTH HUMAN AND STRUCTURAL, ITS LIMBS MERGING INTO LADDER-LIKE AND ANGULAR SHAPES THAT EVOKE MOVEMENT AND TENSION. BOLD FIELDS OF GREEN AND TURQUOISE CREATE A DYNAMIC BACKDROP, WHILE THE LINEAR ACCENTS AND RESTRAINED PALETTE REVEAL THE ARTIST’S MODERNIST SENSIBILITY AND INTEREST IN SYNTHESIZING FORM, SPACE, AND RHYTHM.
