		M. Senathipathi’s [1937] canvases are vibrant with kaleidoscopic colours and intricately woven linearity that foregrounds social or cultural issues. The present work gestures towards violence, and death that is becoming integral to our lives and society in general. The iconic metaphor of death and peace represented symbolically through the garland of skulls and the abhya mudra in the persona of Kali is poignantly rendered. The forms and details are worked through meticulously yet significantly simplified to create an impact on the sensibility of the viewer. The fragmented imagery enhances
the criticality of his theme. He takes the viewer on a journey, experienced through his deeply felt sensitivity. Senathipathi’s has responded to varied social realities and this is made visible through his technical expressions. The powerful linearity and the expressionistic distortions have become marks of his signatorial style. And the artist continues to vacillate between his ink washes and mixed media that he creates with easy facility.
