HOWRAH BRIDGE KOLKATA FLOWER MARKET — ORIGINAL IMPRESSIONIST CANVAS PAINTING
On this composition
A painting, before the light.
The Howrah Bridge, Kolkata's great steel cantilever, arcs across the Hooghly under a peach-orange sky. Below it sprawls the Mullick Ghat flower market: heaps of marigold, rose and tuberose garlands in orange, red and yellow, with vendors carrying baskets on their heads and boats drawn up on the muddy bank. The city skyline and ferry jetties fill the far shore. Sandhya Kaushik handles the bridge in cool steel-grey strokes, then floods the foreground with thick, saturated palette-knife dabs of marigold and crimson so the flowers nearly lift off the canvas.
It is the most colour-rich, energetic piece in the set. It carries a dining room, a kitchen, or a city-loving living room that can hold a warm, busy image.
