'Pieta' | Print on canvas | 33" x 23" 

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.

The composition is ancient, a mother holding her son in pain, but the mother here is not a Renaissance Madonna draped in blue. She is a woman from a Punjab village, from 1947, from every place where grief has had to be carried home in someone's arms. Khanna does not borrow the iconography so much as return it to the earth it came 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.
