Swan Fight is a 60-inch square oil on canvas that explores the collision of grace and force. Utilizing twine as a raw, flexible brush, Raj creates a language of velocity where strokes drag like wings or snap like tendons. Beneath this erratic choreography lies a hand-drawn, partially erased grid, creating a vital tension between containment and eruption. The grid acts as a stage for a visual event that resists perfection, capturing the residue of instinct rather than a literal depiction of birds. Ultimately, the work serves as an honest record of energy, where elegance fractures and beauty resists static composition.
