It is the vibrant, verdant and luscious palette of this beautiful depiction of 3 Ganeshas and myriad elephants that enthralls as the gradual buildup of colour, form and subject figuratively transports one to a space that is one’s own private niche within the mind’s eye. Aslam in drawing 3 completely different forms of Lord Ganesha, with distinct personas makes us awe at his mastery of stroke and command of colours as he meanders through a multitude of hues, lush greens, purples, magenta’s, blue, red yellow grey white and black, which seem to seamlessly come together in this composition. His deep understanding of his subject and palette is ever-present in this work, full of vivacity and multidimensional propensity.
