Details
Looking at the refined imagery of his 'Radhas' in tempera, one is transported to the world of the pre-Raphaelite painter, Gabriel Rossetti. For, like Rossetti, in Suhas Roy too, 'truth to nature' means saturating realism 'with an electric charge of romantic, semi-mystical fantasy', whereby his imagery of voluptuous long-tressed 'Radhas' entwined by decorative floral vines, reflects a vision redolent with hidden meaning and sensuality.
