DESCRIPTION
Ganesh Haloi born in 1936 in Jamalpur now in Bangladesh migrated to Calcutta during Partition. Trained at the Government College of Arts and Crafts he later documented Ajanta cave paintings with the Archaeological Survey of India. Initially known for his landscape paintings Haloi's work depicted tender and verdant vistas reminiscent of his homeland. Over time his art evolved into abstract metaphysical expressions of nature marked by his groundbreaking "Metascape" series in 1978 which marked his shift from realism to abstraction. This artwork exemplifies his abstract style using fluid forms and vibrant colours to create a dynamic and harmonious landscape.
