"Why?" by Prabin Badhia immerses viewers in a haunting panorama of human figures rendered in ethereal blues and subtle violets. The elongated horizontal composition creates a dreamlike procession of semi-abstract forms, where figures emerge and dissolve into one another across the canvas. Badhia's masterful brushwork establishes a rhythm of movement through gestural strokes, with occasional warm accents of ochre and pale rose punctuating the predominantly cool palette, creating a sense of emotional complexity within the unified color harmony.

 

About Why? by Prabin Badhia

Created in 2020, this oil on board measures an impressive 60 inches in length while maintaining a narrow 10-inch width, with a depth of 2 inches. The unusual proportions invite viewers to experience the work as a visual narrative that unfolds across time and space. The artist's sophisticated use of blue dominates the composition, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously meditative and unsettled. Figures appear to be engaged in collective action—some standing in solidarity, others bent in struggle or assistance—suggesting themes of human connection, suffering, and resilience. The painting's questioning title adds another layer of contemplation, prompting viewers to consider what circumstances might have brought these ethereal figures together in their blue-washed world. When displayed, the work's distinctive proportions command attention while its emotional resonance invites deeper engagement with its enigmatic narrative.
