Krishen Khanna
'Flagellation' | Print on canvas | 33" x 26"
Singed | Limited Edition of 75
Krishen Khanna is one of India's most enduring modernists, a painter of deep moral seriousness whose figurative work has always held the human condition at its centre. A member of the Progressive Artists' Group, he spent decades rendering India's working men, its grief, its faith, with a painterly intensity that sets him apart.
Khanna shows us two figures, showing the hand that grips Christ's head as though it were something to be controlled. "Flagellation" stands for the violence carried out in the on the orders of superior powers. Khanna has witnessed such things across decades, and here he has made them impossible to look away from. This print faithfully captures the richness of Khanna's painterly surface and the intensity of his palette, making his iconic imagery accessible as a work to be lived with every day.
