Description

This dynamic monochromatic painting by Sunil Das captures the raw energy and rhythm of galloping horses, a recurring motif in his celebrated Horse Series. Executed in expressive black strokes against a textured beige backdrop, the composition traces a curved path teeming with motion—each horse rendered in fluid, gestural lines that evoke urgency, strength, and primal grace. The interplay of leaping forms and sweeping brushwork reflects Das’s mastery of charcoal and ink, as well as his deep fascination with movement and anatomy. A fence and distant figures subtly anchor the scene, adding spatial depth without detracting from the central kinetic force. True to his postmodern ethos, Das transforms a moment of motion into a visceral meditation on vitality and freedom.
