Prakash Bal Joshi, Untitled, 2024: a square abstract in ultramarine, violet and teal, with a vermilion form rising through the centre.

Prakash Bal Joshi

Untitled, 2024

Acrylic on canvas

Dimensions to be confirmed

A square field worked in ultramarine, violet and teal, with a vermilion form rising through the centre and two dark verticals standing before it. The brush is left visible throughout, dragged rather than blended. Joshi came to painting through the encouragement of K. H. Ara, who saw his sketches and put him on canvas, and he was elected Chairman of the Artists' Centre, Mumbai in 2024. Of that year he said that after five years working almost entirely in blue, other colours had entered his palette; this canvas sits exactly at that turn. Signed with the artist's monogram, lower right, and dated.

Dimensions and provenance are stated as soon as each work has been measured and its history recorded. Where a field is not yet established the house prints a rule rather than a plausible figure, and no work is invoiced until the record is complete.
