Subrato Mandal

This dynamic and expressive artwork features a mountain form bursting with color and energy, blending abstract expressionism with a loose suggestion of landscape. The central mass is a dense tangle of black, grey, and earth tones, evoking craggy rock formations or volcanic terrain. Hints of red, blue, green, and orange peek through the layers, adding vibrancy and complexity to the visual texture.

The brushstrokes and marks are varied—some fluid and smoky, others rough and jagged—contributing to a raw, almost eruptive feeling. There’s a sense of motion within the mountain itself, as though it’s alive or in the process of forming. Yellow lines arch around the base and sides, giving an impression of light, heat, or movement across the surface.

In the upper left corner, a patch of blue-sky contrasts with the darker mass, offering a sliver of calm against the stormy intensity of the main subject. This patch of blue also helps anchor the composition and gives a sense of spatial depth.
