Bengal Garden

This panel was designed by ChippiWara and crafted by Suresh Mohan using the traditional Mysore wood inlay technique. Naturally coloured timber veneers were cut with a fine blade and fitted onto a flat substrate, like a jigsaw puzzle, allowing the grain of the wood to create tone and depth. Recalling childhood summers in the artist’s grandmother’s garden, the work depicts a sunbird drinking from hibiscus at dawn.
