Golden Deer



“Golden Deer” by Ratan Banerjee, 91 x 107 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2007

It may surprise you, but it is modern life that 59-year-old Kolkata artist Ratan Banerjee expresses through this pastoral, almost sentimental painting. “The deer symbolizes the ever-increasing pace of our daily lives,” says Banerjee. “Chase it and it runs even faster. But a stationary, golden deer staring back at us ought to make us slow down and think.”
