Rajat Ghosh - Artwork 803

This vertical composition layers documentary photographs beneath translucent green and olive brushstrokes, then veils them with dense black hatchings.

The underlying scenes of people and gatherings peek through the painterly veil, giving the work a sense of social narrative interrupted by abstraction. The artist’s interventions—broad swipes of color and rapid linear scratches—generate tension between representation and obliteration, turning quotidian imagery into an evocative study of presence and disappearance within a restrained, matted frame.
