Mixed media (possibly including encaustic) abstract on what appears to be a fibrous material backed with an archival fabric; by Indian artist Shanti Dave circa 1960s; measures approximately 22" x 30" with frame and has a sight image of approximately 21-1/2" x 29-1/2". The widely acclaimed Shanti Dave, born in North Gujarat, is famed for his colossal murals and his use of unconventional materials, such as encaustic here giving the piece its depth. His paintings show a blend of western expressionism and Indian metaphysics, often incorporating tantric elements and earthy obscurity; appears to be signed in lower left corner in white.
