Style:
Prasanta Sahu's paintings conflicts between the self & the society, the silent & the violent & the body & the soul are dealt with in the current series of work which rotates around images of his own body, body parts and skin with a focus on the underlying issues around identity, fragility, beauty, hypocrisy & mortality remarkably rendered in dense cross hatchings.
