G. R. Santosh (1929-1997)

This striking composition by G. R. Santosh reflects the artist’s deep engagement with Tantric philosophy and Kashmiri Shaivism, themes that became central to his work from the 1960s onward. The painting presents a meditative, almost totemic form constructed through precise geometry, symbolising spiritual ascent and inner awakening.

The carefully balanced composition, with its concentric circles, triangular mountain-like forms, and a seated yogic presence, evokes the idea of cosmic energy and the union of the physical and metaphysical worlds. Santosh’s luminous palette of blues, oranges, and reds enhances the sense of serenity and transcendence, while his precise handling of form demonstrates his mastery of sacred geometry.

Representative of his mature style, this work highlights Santosh’s unique contribution to Indian modernism, where abstraction becomes a vehicle for spiritual exploration and visual meditation.
