DESCRIPTION
Paresh Maity, a master of watercolours, has achieved unparalleled proficiency in the medium over the past two decades. His oeuvre is marked by his vibrant use of colour. His works capture the essence of diverse landscapes, from the sand dunes of Rajasthan and the backwaters of Kerala to the canals of Venice and the lake of Geneva. Maity's time in Rajasthan significantly influenced his palette, infusing his works with bold, explosive colours. His focus has been on figures, particularly faces with myriad expressions. These figures are closely cropped and placed amidst striking surroundings. This painting exemplifies Maity's signature style, featuring a reclining woman with a fan, rendered in rich hues. The figure is set against a striking red background, capturing his ability to convey stories through colour and composition.
