Press Releases
"Krisan's work though contemporary,
reflects the tradition of his home state of Rajasthan, the warmth
of whose yellows, ochre's, browns, reds, and orange is
clearly visible as are the colourful clothes they wear in some of
his works. What distinguishes his studies of women is their
bearing and presence, something that feudal society never allowed
beyond the ominous hand print of the sati. His woman are not
victims of fate, they are the makers of future. and he has a
capacity to place complex concepts in a visual language that is to
understand and obscure. that is what gives his work's the appeal
they have today among a wide section of connoisseurs at home and
in countries as far apart as Japan and the USA".
