In this work Arjuna uses watercolours and wasli to present a sentimental figure shrouded in a vivid intensity of colours, as if they exist in a limbo enveloped by the newness of a foreign place. In the artist’s engagement with themes of migration and displacement, he conflates visual languages from distinct geographies and cultures to coexist in subtle tension.
