RAM KUMAR - UNTITLED (Abstract)
1/2
Description
Ram Kumar (1924 - 2018) Watercolour on paper 22.5 x 33.5 Inches Signed Lower Centre Year - 1981 "Ram Kumar’s work deeply rooted in the quietude of his childhood surroundings in Shimla offers a meditative exploration of both the natural world and the human condition. His early years in the tranquil Himalayan landscape significantly shaped his artistic voice cultivating an inherent sense of solitude and introspection. His formal training at the Sarada Ukil School of Art and later in Paris introduced him to modernist ideas further refining his approach to abstraction and forming a bridge to his later association with the Progressive Artists’ Group.Kumar’s artistic evolution is marked by a shift from figural depictions of solitude to increasingly abstracted interpretations of the world around him. Early works captured emotional isolation while his later pieces abandoned the human figure altogether in favor of expansive abstract cityscapes and landscapes. This lot exemplifies this transition."
