Expressionist Painting from India, "Education"

Letters and numbers spill across a vertical panel as though on the chalkboard of a classroom. A small child appears with a red hibiscus crowning him like an umbrella. "Children are our future and education is the foundation of a good future," artist Sunil Jaiswal explains. "I have tried to convey the importance of children's education through this painting. The child is happy, as shown by the floral blossom, while the letters and numbers represent the child's progress." He presents the painting in a mat of recycled hard paper.
