Description:

"Banaras 4" by Anand Narain is an oil on canvas painting that offers a sweeping, impressionistic view of the iconic Banaras ghats from a unique perspective. The left side of the composition is dominated by the multi-tiered architecture of the city, rendered in warm, earthy tones of oranges, browns, and hints of red, with touches of green and purple. The structures appear to cascade down towards the vibrant blue and turquoise waters of the Ganges River, which occupies the vast majority of the right side of the canvas. The water is depicted with broad, expressive brushstrokes that convey movement and reflection. In the upper right, the sky is a soft blend of pale blues and pinks, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and deep connection to the spiritual and historical essence of Banaras, with the city's complex forms flowing seamlessly into the expansive river.
