CATALOGUE NOTES
Ganesh Haloi, born in 1936 in Jamalpur (now in Bangladesh) moved to Calcutta after the partition. As a result, he had seen the country struggle for its freedom and its own identity. Haloi’s works are known for their composition of space, colour, form and narration. Each have a different dialogue and tone through these factors. They have a distinct idea of time, space and distance that is conveyed through views of the foreground, middleground and background in one plane. He plays with perspective, and with light and darkness in this work.
