+ OVERVIEW

Bose was educated in Mumbai and London, and a combination of Western techniques and Indian spirit pervades his works. "Untitled" is an abstract containing all of Bose's hallmarks, spectacular combinations of color, and abstract images and designs which provoke an intellectual examination. His abstract patterns, which seem familiar at the beginning, such as an eye, ultimately avoid definition. Bose challenges our perception and asks us to question what we see. Is what we see really what we see? And thus poses the intellectual question, is what we know, really the truth? Painted in the lavish colors of his native India, with a brightness unique to his work, "Untitled" is a major representation of Bose's intellectual questioning.
