With Donkeys giving birth here and there, the artist draws from real life experiences where he has
frequently witnessed donkeys or cows giving birth. (The joys of small-town life that Harsha so revels
in!) But once again, the unexpected appears in the work: a big splash of red brush strokes which is then
further layered with his (now signature) cosmos paFern. And then bang in the middle of this whirl of
the red cosmos is a deep turquoise gash, ferreted into the centre of the painting (again paint lives its
life) .
Within all this drama of colour and activity are patches where the humdrum of life continues...
segments of quo(dian life of everyday activity with scenes of harvesting, yogic gestures, business going
about in pink suits (!) and… donkeys giving birth!
Perhaps all in a day's work - the life of NS Harsha summed up in one single painting!
