Ship by Vikram Kumar Mukherjee

This is an original abstract painting executed with acrylics on canvas, utilizing a knife work technique to create a rich, textured surface.

​The artwork, titled “Knife Work,” measures 36″ x 36″.

​The piece features a dense, vertical composition dominated by bold, striking textures and a powerful interplay of colors. The palette is rich and earthy, anchored by deep blacks, charcoal greys, and navy blue, which are strikingly punctuated by strokes of fiery orange, rust-red, vibrant yellow, and brilliant turquoise.

​The “knife work” technique gives the painting a three-dimensional quality, with the application of thick, layered paint suggesting rows of abstract, almost architectural forms—like a bustling, condensed cityscape or an illuminated village seen through a veil of rain or mist. It conveys a dynamic energy and deep emotional resonance, inviting the viewer to explore the complex layers of color and texture.

• ​This is a powerful, contemporary artwork ideal for a space requiring a strong visual focal point.
