Lalitha Lajmi - Red Woman with Puppet
1/2
Description
Lalitha Lajmi (1932 - 2023)
Oil on Canvas
41 x 36 Inches
Signed & Dated Verso
Year - 1996
This 1996 oil painting marks Lalitha Lajmi’s continued engagement with figuration during a period of transition between mediums. Having spent much of the previous years immersed in etching, she returned to canvas with a renewed sensitivity to composition and tone.
The intertwined figures suggest an intimate emotional exchange. Stripped of overt symbolism, the work reveals Lajmi’s enduring preoccupation with human connection and interiority. The diffused reds and greens, softly blending into one another, recall her instinct for quiet drama, shaped by years of discipline and introspection.
A meditative close to her oil practice, this painting anticipates the stillness and restraint that would define her later watercolours.
