Crossing River

About Artwork

"Crossing River" by Praneet Kanchan captures the serene beauty of a tranquil evening on canvas. With acrylic on canvas board, Kanchan skilfully depicts a boatman gracefully navigating his vessel along the river, positioned near a sprawling bridge. The sky is a breathtaking palette of orange hues, signalling the sun's descent on the horizon. This masterful play of warm tones creates a captivating atmosphere, invoking a sense of calmness and nostalgia. The elongated bridge serves as a symbolic connection between two worlds, while the boatman, returning home against the mesmerizing backdrop, becomes the focal point of this evocative scene. Kanchan's adept use of colours and composition not only showcases his technical prowess but also invites viewers to reflect on the journey, both literal and metaphorical, that unfolds in the quietude of the evening river crossing.
