About the Item
Anita Johnson
Untitled (Red Theater), c. late 1960s
Oil on canvas
Framed dimensions: 21 in. H × 41 in. W
Contemporary black floater frame
With its cinematic horizontality and commanding palette, Untitled (Red Theater) is a masterclass in compositional drama by Anita Johnson. Rendered in vibrant crimsons, flame orange, ochre, and blushing pinks—anchored by dramatic gestures of black—this work feels like both a stage set and a coded abstraction, poised somewhere between architectural blueprint and emotional landscape.
Johnson’s angular shapes press up against one another with magnetic tension, their edges outlined with confident precision. The vertical striping at right evokes curtains or columns, suggesting an invitation to enter—or witness—something just beyond the surface. A small black rectangle at center acts like a fulcrum in this visual symphony of asymmetry and balance.
Rare in its panoramic scale and evocative intensity, this painting reflects Johnson’s deep engagement with post-war abstraction, particularly the American tendency toward bold color and gesture with a restrained, design-forward sensibility. The crisp black floater frame highlights the theatricality of the work, allowing its internal rhythm to unfold across the wall like a vivid proscenium.

Untitled, Acrylic on Canvas, Pink, Red by Contemporary Indian Artist"In Stock"
By Amit Kalla
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Amit Kalla - Untitled - 24 x 24 inches (unframed size)
Acrylic on Canvas
** Free Shipment ...... will be delivered in rolled form.
Style : Kalla’s work can be represented by his commitment to experimenting with social engagement through the arts. It is here his strength lies. Through his deep connection to a cultural expression of a universal spirituality and passionate sense of humanity Kalla, continuously draws people from all communities into acts of creativity in the belief that through creativity people are empowered and communities move incrementally closer to truth.
His poetry and paintings are spiritually intuited. While his poems create a secretive world of words, where silence speaks his paintings are calligraphic and draw on the same silent unknowing of invented texts. His paintings represent moments on the continuum; a slice snatched from his deeper hidden journey.
The strength of Kalla’s work is that it represents an Indian artist’s quest for an indigenous tenor rather than a superficial inventory of native motifs, there is nothing about his work which relies on a static Indian Identity.
About the Artist & his work :
Born : 1980 in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Education :
2005 - Masters in Art and Aesthetics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi
