Amit Rajvanshi’s evocative acrylic on canvas work presents a compelling narrative through two stylized figures set against a serene gray-blue backdrop. The composition captures a moment of quiet introspection and subtle tension, as the seated woman and standing man occupy the space with deliberate postures that hint at unspoken communication. Rendered in a graphic, folk-art inspired style, the figures are defined by blocky forms, bold outlines, and intricate patterned details that enliven their clothing and surroundings.
The woman, positioned on the left, is depicted with a contemplative gaze directed downward, her expression imbued with a gentle pensiveness. Her attire, composed of a patterned top and skirt, features delicate floral motifs that soften the geometric rigidity of the overall composition. At her feet rests a tiger-like animal, stylized with a similarly graphic aesthetic, anchoring her presence in the scene and introducing an element of symbolic companionship. The careful interplay of pattern and form in her clothing and the animal accentuates the painting’s layered visual language. To the right, the standing male figure is rendered with a neutral expression, his body slightly angled away from the woman, evoking a sense of distance or emotional detachment. His clothing, a patterned shirt and pants, echoes the detailed design motifs of the woman’s garments, creating a visual dialogue between the two figures. Below him sits a spotted dog, its stylized form mirroring the graphic qualities of the tiger, reinforcing thematic notions of loyalty and companionship within the narrative framework.
The restrained color palette of light browns, darker browns, and the soft gray-blue background lends the composition a harmonious and contemplative atmosphere. This subdued scheme enhances the emotional nuance of the scene, allowing the viewer to focus on the figures’ interaction and the symbolic resonance of their animal companions. Rajvanshi’s use of folk and primitive art conventions—such as simplified shapes, strong outlines, and decorative patterns, imbues the painting with both cultural specificity and universal accessibility. Through this work, Amit Rajvanshi invites viewers into a quiet, introspective moment where human emotion and symbolic representation intersect. The balance between abstraction and narrative, coupled with meticulous patterning and thoughtful composition, positions this piece as a sophisticated exploration of relational dynamics and visual storytelling within contemporary Indian art
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes. In the 1980s, as head and first curator of the Habiart Gallery founded by Mrs Rekha Modi — a childhood friend — Mrs Mayor worked closely with and curated shows for renowned artists such as A Ramachandran, GR Santosh, Rameshwar Broota, Sakti Burman, MK Bardhan, Dhiraj Chaudhury, M Sivanesan, and Arup Das among others.
Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more. Artworks commissioned by her are now part of prestigious collections, such as those of the India Habitat Centre, Ranbaxy, Pepsi, Hotel Lalit, Bank of America, and many more private and public collections.
