Barun Pramanick | A Black Shadow | Bronze | H 18.11 x W 14.9 x D 6.3 inches | 2021
This bronze sculpture, titled A Black Shadow (2021) by Barun Pramanick, is a powerful visual metaphor of struggle and endurance. It portrays a tall, lean figure walking with a staff, evoking resilience and determination, while behind him, a cylindrical form is being dragged and surrounded by smaller, writhing human-like figures. The contrast between the solitary walker and the chaotic mass symbolizes the weight of burdens, both personal and collective, that follow humanity like a shadow. The textured detailing and dynamic postures heighten the sense of tension, making the work not just a sculpture but also a narrative of perseverance, existential struggle, and the human condition.
