Submerged Echoes by Vikram Kumar Mukherjee

A Description of the Artwork

Submerged Echoes is a profoundly textured and complex abstract piece, masterfully created with acrylic on canvas. The artist uses the knife work technique to build an incredibly thick, impasto surface, giving the canvas a rugged, sculptural quality.

The painting features a dominant field of smoky greys and earthy browns, suggesting rock, earth, or a clouded atmosphere. Breaking through this dominant texture are sudden, expressive flashes of color: electric blues, vibrant lime greens, and pale yellows. These color bursts appear as if they are emerging from or sinking into the dense, dark ground, creating a dynamic tension and a sense of hidden life.

The vertical orientation (36″ x 24″) and the all-over texture lend a monumental feel to the work, making it a compelling focal point. This piece is ideal for collectors who appreciate deep texture, a moody atmosphere, and powerful abstract expressionism.
