“Buddha and The Swan” by Ajay De, Charcoal and Acrylic on Paper, 102 x 51 cm, 2008.
Ajay De’s style can be recognized from his use of charcoal with highlights of red and blue paint. This work, from De’s latest “Buddha” series, depicts the story of how Siddhartha Gautama, prince of Kapilavastu—who became Buddha—saved a swan wounded by his cousin Devadatta’s arrow. Kolkata-trained De holds his 21st solo show at Delhi’s India Habitat Centre this month.
