Untitled (Tribal Abstract) 1982

"Untitled (Tribal Abstract)" is a 1982 work by the Indian artist Jagdish Swaminathan (1928-1994). The artwork, a vibrant composition of abstract shapes, evokes a sense of tribal artistry and ancient symbols. Bold black lines, red splashes, and a central square with a stylized eye, trident, and other abstract forms are set against a textured, earthy background. Swaminathan's works are often characterized by their exploration of Indian mythology and folklore, creating a dialogue between contemporary art and traditional aesthetics.
