Dutta has immersed himself in the nightscape of the city, relooking at the sculpturality of form left behind in empty spaces of bustling footpaths, wares sold on streets tightly packed with tarpaulin and discarded items of daily use, painting them in intricate, contemplative brush and ink works. Evident in ‘Lengthening Shadows’ (2019) is Dutta’s gaze that invites the viewer to renew value, we assign as a society, to objects that are everyday and occupy our field of vision.
