Untitled, 2006

// This untitled painting by Babu Eshwar Prasad, created in 2006, is an acrylic on canvas that combines vibrant color and symbolic imagery. The composition centers on an object that resembles a hand-held fan or parasol, richly detailed in shades of red and orange against a bright blue background. Within the fan’s design, we see various symbols, including a classic car and animals, possibly signifying aspects of modernity, tradition, and cultural identity. The crisp, graphic style and the striking contrast of colors draw attention to the object’s intricate form, giving it a surreal, almost pop-art quality. Prasad’s work often blends humor with social commentary, and this piece invites viewers to interpret the significance of these motifs, perhaps reflecting on the intersections of past and present within Indian culture.
