// This untitled painting by Babu Eshwar Prasad, created in 2006, is an acrylic on canvas that combines vibrant color and symbolic imagery. The composition centers on an object that resembles a hand-held fan or parasol, richly detailed in shades of red and orange against a bright blue background. Within the fan’s design, we see various symbols, including a classic car and animals, possibly signifying aspects of modernity, tradition, and cultural identity. The crisp, graphic style and the striking contrast of colors draw attention to the object’s intricate form, giving it a surreal, almost pop-art quality. Prasad’s work often blends humor with social commentary, and this piece invites viewers to interpret the significance of these motifs, perhaps reflecting on the intersections of past and present within Indian culture.
Babu Eshwar Prasad (India, 1968) is a multidisciplinary artist known for his innovative use of painting, sculpture, and video art. His works often address themes of urbanization, environmental change, and cultural narratives, blending traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Prasad’s thought-provoking pieces have been showcased in prominent exhibitions worldwide.
acrylic on canvasAcrylic on canvas is a technique where acrylic paint is applied to a canvas surface using tools like brushes and palette knives. Acrylic paint is a synthetic medium made from liquid plastic, which can be thinned with water and dries quickly when exposed to air. This fast-drying quality makes it versatile for layering and various painting techniques.

A contemporary Indian artist, Babu Eshwar Prasad is a painter renowned for drawing on his own dreams and, with the mind’s eye, recreating the almost mystical visions that have come to him. Prasad’s landscapes perfectly capture the subversion of dreams; the scenery is familiar in the sense that you can clearly make out a sky, a mountainside, a tree, or a river – but the colours are often not what you would expect – imagine a blood-red sky or yellow mountains. It has also been remarked that Prasad’s paintings retain a child-like quality, in the sense that he denotes the fantasy and wild imaginings of youth as a means of expressing the disappointment we all feel when viewing certain nostalgic scenes through the eyes of an adult.
Contemporary art from India dates from 1985 to the present, marking the post-liberalization era. During this period, artists have felt free to create independently of traditional Hindu or social conventions. They often incorporate distinctly Indian materials and objects in their work, reflecting a blend of modern ideas and cultural heritage.
