P.C. Poddar - Artwork 380

A composed scene of a cityscape rendered with delicate texture and mixed-media accents, this work juxtaposes faded banknotes and small cloth pieces pinned to a taut line above a densely rendered rooftop panorama. The muted palette of grays and washed blues is punctuated by warm ochres and greens, giving the vista an intimate, lived-in feeling while the clipped currency elements introduce a tactile, narrative edge. Framed within a wide mat and dark wooden surround, the piece balances representation and found-object collage, inviting the viewer to consider economy and daily ritual in the urban roofscape.

Minute details — cloth pegs, frayed fabric and carefully painted architectural domes — convey a quiet lyricism and observational patience that anchor the composition.
