Notes

"Basu's landscapes are often organized using rectilinear geometry not unlike the mappings of electronic circuitry. Everything pulsates in great stillness. In this light the works become a metaphor for our cultural and technological climate. They respond to how our advancement often forgets our history and comment at the same time on how the contemporary can only exist and is made possible by the seemingly neglected historical buttress." (Jyothi Basu; Landscapes towards a Supreme Fiction, Press Release, Thomas Erben Gallery, New York, 2006)
