Kishans Kappari weaves a dual narrative, the central characters in the fore ground are stylised women with dark complexion, interact with enchanting landscapes in the back ground. While the women are in opaque colours, the most interesting parts are the translucent linear landscapes. They rebound the narrative of these women, as protagonist artists recreating imaginative stories. They speak poetic fantasies, as conversations with the Buddha, herds of cattle in a forest etc., they hold a dream like quality in their subtle colouring and linear reedition, as the artist finds a way to link landscape and portraiture, dream and drama.
