S.H. Raza – Bindu, 1998

Description

This painting by Sayed Haider Raza features a bold geometric composition in vivid, earthy colors, drawing from traditional Indian symbols and vibrant modernist forms. The artwork is divided into a grid of rectangular segments, each showcasing unique patterns, colors, and shapes, including triangles, circles, and squares. Central to the composition are contrasting blocks of black and green, creating a sense of balance and focus within the mosaic-like structure.

Raza employs rich reds, greens, yellows, and oranges, with black circles and lines providing contrast. Each segment seems to represent different aspects of nature or spirituality, perhaps inspired by traditional Indian philosophy and motifs. The intricate, repetitive patterns and bold lines contribute to a dynamic, rhythmic quality, making the painting both visually engaging and contemplative. The piece embodies Raza’s signature style, merging abstraction with a deep cultural and spiritual resonance.
