Lot Essay

"Ganesh Pyne's work is often described as melancholic, with watery canvases depicting dark scences of ghostly, skeletal figures and spindly vegetation. His figures populate the interstices between living and dead, mundane and otherworldly, present and past: "the twilight zone means the meeting point of day and night, of life and death, of love and agony -- where everything is seen in a different light. (Midnight To The Boom, Peabody Essex Museum, New York, 2013, p. 170)
