Rajnish ChhaneshWitness- 22, 2021Gouache and acrylic on paper35.6 x 45.7 cm
₹48,500 + 12% GSTAcross his new series titled Blind Witness, artist Rajnish Chhanesh takes on the role of a visual archivist illustrating the idiosyncrasies and fallacies of human society. These immensely intricate paintings retain his signature style of entwining contemporariness with traditional miniature paintings, but with a fresh take. Here the artist departs from his quintessential personal narrative and explores a more broadened political voice, embracing human history, mythology, and collective consciousness.

Rajnish ChhaneshWitness- 5, 2021Gouache and acrylic on paper35.6 x 45.7 cm
₹48,500 + 12% GSTIn his landscapes, devoid of human presence, nature takes the center stage and serves as the catalyst for unfolding the narrative. The lyrical compositions visually guide our eyes effortlessly across the purview of each painting, making us take note of every nuance Rajnish has inculcated with fineness. Taking inspiration from a Hindu myth about the ancient Vedic deity Indra, who due to a curse ended up with a thousand eyes on his body, the artist presents the viewer with a multitude of eyes in the sky, water, birds, and in the form of peeking alligators. These eyes stand for the common people who witness injustices in their daily lives and are hopeless about redress. It was intentional for the artist not to illustrate a mouth anywhere to symbolize the voicelessness of masses in the current socio-political landscape.
