The game of Chess is all about the King. The game goes on until the King is safe. All the coins work hard to just save the King and usually the first casualty in the game is the Pawn. Nobody cares how many and when the pawn is sacrificed. It is as if the Pawn is just there for sacrifice.
This painting of mine is to show the unjust system of our society where it is always the common man who falls when big decisions are made by the authority or the people in power.
As you might have observed, when I started the Chess series, my palette was more of yellow ochre, burnt sienna and the likes. I turned towards blue in 2015. I don't have pictures of many of the earlier blue phase works as some of them got sold or are with friends or packed and stashed away as I did't like them. I still love the blue..... but once in a while to break the monotony of the heavyness of blue, I bring in other colors... Also I really started to play with colors to bring in some textures in my works.
