"Invoking the Gods" Painting by Swapan
About "Invoking the Gods"
The artist has shown remarkable control over the colors and the detailing in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. The piece deftly conveys the effects of light, ensuring that the onlooker is able to guess that dawn is approaching – the surroundings enveloped by dark tones. The golden glow on the buildings amply suggests the ochre light being emanated by the rising sun.
The artist has been able to portray the watery surface and the shadows brought about by the play of the rising sun. The water seems to have ripples indicating a light breeze flowing across. Despite the various hues, the artist has drawn attention to the ascetic in radiant white attire and forehead mark, completely engrossed in prayer and meditation.
