Manu Parekh Indian, b. 1939
Manu Parekh is one of India's most distinctive modernists, known for his expressive brushwork, intuitive colour, and a decades-long engagement with the city of Varanasi. A recipient of the Padma Shri and the National Award from the Lalit Kala Akademi and has held a practice spanning painting, theatre, and craft over six decades.
In "Moonlight Banaras" Parekh stretches Banaras across a long horizontal plane temples rising in silhouette against a sky that glows with the pale, blue-tinted quality of moonlight alone. The light here is not daylight's certainty. It is reflected light from the moon.Banaras at night is a different city, it is something quieter, more ancient, more eternal. This print on canvas captures the expressive intensity of Parekh's painted, making this iconic imagery a work to be lived with every day.
