“Pet” by Sanjeev Sinha, Oil & acrylic on canvas, 150 x 180 cms, 1989
Collection of S.H. Daya, Mumbai

Delhi-based artist Sanjeev Sinha’s fine lines and delicacy of colour interpret the unspoken bond between people and their cats. As they say, pet owners start to resemble their pets. Observe how the cat, painted red to put him in focus, is so comfortable as he is stroked by a human hand that is literally feline. Sinha, 47, studied art in Patna and Amsterdam.
