The artist with the first panel
A large scale sculpture based
on the presented lot
Khanna’s paintings in the Bandwallah Series are characterised
by bold brushstrokes, vivid colours, and dynamic compositions.
He skilfully depicts the bandwallahs in their traditional attire,
playing a variety of instruments. The musicians’ animated
expressions and lively gestures exude a sense of joy and
celebration, drawing viewers into the lively atmosphere of the
street performances.
In the presented work, one can see the beauty of structure
and the full dramatisation of an ensemble. The importance
of the canvas is evident from its many other forms, including
this massive brass sculpture, timepieces and more.
