To accompany iniva’s exhibition ‘Village Letters‘, we are delighted to announce the launch of a limited edition print by the artist Prafulla Mohanti in October 2022.

The print, entitled Kalika in reference to the all powerful female Hindu goddess Kali or Kalika, comes from an orginal watercolour featuring the artists iconic motif of bright concentric circles. This work, chosen for its seductive, visceral tones, is representative of Prafulla’s spiritually-led painting and drawing practice.

Realised as a giclee print and finished with a silkscreen layer to capture the painterly watercolour bleed. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own work by the artist.
