Lot Essay

"Show me the road
lead me till there
or between the two rivers
make me a little hut
or leave your face
on my body's parchment" (Recastings from KABIR, Kahat Kabir, Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, 1999.)

This pair of works belongs to a series of gouaches done by the artist in 1997 that was inspired by the Sufi poet Kabir.
