Manu Parekh
'Banaras' | Print on canvas | 15" x 45"
Signed | Limited edition of 45
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.
Parekh has spent a lifetime trying to find the painting equal to Banaras — and in this diptych, he comes as close as paint will allow. The canvas overwhelms before it explains. The energy is ferocious, the colour exacerbated, the sense of immediacy absolute. This print on canvas captures the expressive intensity of Parekh's painted, making this iconic imagery a work to be lived with every day.
