Manu Parekh is one of India's most distinctive modernists, known for his expressive brushwork, intuitive colour, and a decades-long engagement with the city of Varanasi. A recipient of the Padma Shri and the National Award from the Lalit Kala Akademi and has held a practice spanning painting, theatre, and craft over six decades.
The artwork "Banaras in Red" holds a stillness of something enormous, caught mid-breath. What the artist has given a state of being that can only be felt and never quite explained. To stand before this work is to understand that true art does not ask for your attention. It simply waits, certain that you will return. This print on canvas captures the expressive intensity of Parekh's painted surface, making this iconic imagery a work to be lived with every day.
