Kartick Chandra Pyne | Untitled | Watercolour on Thick Imported Paper | 22.5 x 30 inches
This beautifully expressive watercolour painting portrays a tranquil landscape where nature unfolds in soft, fluid harmony. A winding blue water body flows gently through open green fields, while two slender trees stretch gracefully across the composition, creating a natural frame against distant hills and a dreamy sky. Small birds and subtle animal-like figures scattered across the scene add a quiet sense of movement and life.
The artwork carries a feeling of openness and calm, achieved through delicate washes of blue, green, and earthy tones. The loose brushwork and minimal detailing allow the landscape to feel both real and imagined — like a fleeting memory or a peaceful moment captured in silence. The artist’s use of negative space and flowing forms gives the painting an airy, meditative quality that invites contemplation.
Painted on thick imported paper, this original watercolour highlights the organic beauty of the medium through transparent layers and soft tonal blending. Ideal for collectors of contemporary Indian art and lovers of serene landscapes, the artwork brings freshness, balance, and understated elegance to modern interiors and curated spaces.
Born into an aristocratic family of gold merchants, Kartick Chandra Pyne took an interest in art at an early age.
The older cousin of Ganesh Pyne, another remarkable Indian modernist,
K. C. Pyne graduated in fine arts from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta, in 1955. Later, he taught at Calcutta’s Indian College of Arts and Draughtsmanship in the 1970s, and the Academy of Fine Arts in the ’80s.
One of India’s foremost surrealist painters who was influenced by artists such as Rabindranath Tagore, Marc Chagall, and Joan Miró, Pyne famously said, ‘I did not really know that I worked in the surrealist style till it was pointed out to me.’ His works, spontaneous and individualistic, had surreal imagery in bold colours. A four-time winner of the award of the Academy of Fine Arts, Calcutta, Pyne had represented India in the exhibition titled ‘100 Years of Modern Indian Art’ held at the Fukuoka Museum, Japan, in 1979.
An intensely private person, he preferred to pause, reflect and focus on painting while exploring a range of subjects — myth, fables, human stories, culture, memories, fantasy, erotica — in a vibrant palette. Art, for Pyne, was an intimate approach, thus requiring the artist to still the mind and experience the meditative aspect of creation.
Nothing stopped him, not even a paralytic stroke that affected the left side of his body in 1994. In fact, in the late ’90s, Pyne painted his acclaimed nude series. He was painting till a year before his death, for as long as he could hold a brush, at his home in Kolkata.
