Ghost Story 2019

"Ghost Story" (2019) by Salman Toor (b. 1983) is a painting that portrays a group of figures in an interior setting. The scene is lit by candlelight, casting long shadows and creating a sense of intimacy. The figures, some of whom are partially obscured, appear to be engaged in a conversation, suggesting a narrative or an interaction with a ghostly presence, as the title implies. The painting's use of rich color and atmospheric lighting contribute to its evocative and mysterious quality. The work is characteristic of Toor's style, which often explores themes of identity, relationships, and the complexities of human experience.
