108 mountainscapes, including some of the most emblematic peaks of the Great Himalaya, as seen by the painter in his yearly ascensions to remote areas between Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.
His paintings continue a lineage started by artists Nicolái Roerich and Earl Brewster, but with a more personal approach in terms of palette and contrast; very “Indian”, even psychedelic.
The colours in Kapur’s paintings do not necessarily or always reflect objectively the topography of the heights, but more the sensations that the artist experienced in the solitude of the wilderness where the light plays an important role in conflating the state of day dream, reality and space travel.
“There is something so special about being in those regions; the incessantly buzzing mind slows down, the worries of the world are left behind and one is plunged into a purely existential frisson with the vast unknown.” Vikram Kapur
