Description

This intricate marketplace sketch by Sunil Das reveals his expressive command of line and social observation, extending his artistic vocabulary beyond the equine and figurative themes for which he is widely known. Using dense cross-hatching and dynamic strokes, Das animates an urban bazaar teeming with life—arched facades, balconies, and bustling figures engaged in commerce and conversation. The architectural detailing and crowd choreography reflect his sensitivity to rhythm and spatial tension, transforming a quotidian scene into a layered narrative of community, movement, and cultural texture. In this work, Das channels his postmodern ethos into a documentary tableau, where every mark resonates with vitality and human presence.
