Gestation

$6,300

Description:

Gestation is a striking painting by S. H. Raza, one of India’s most influential modern artists. Created in his signature geometric style, the artwork represents the theme of birth, creation, and spiritual evolution. Using symbolic forms such as the bindu (a central dot), grids, triangles, and vibrant colors, Raza visualizes the process of life forming within the cosmic order.

The painting reflects his deep engagement with Indian philosophy, nature, and tantric symbolism, while maintaining a bold, modernist visual language. Gestation achieved significant recognition when it sold for approximately INR 29 crore (~$4.8 million) at a Christie’s auction, placing it among the most expensive Indian paintings ever sold. It stands as a profound example of how Raza fused spirituality with abstraction.

Artist:

Sayed Haider Raza (1922–2016) was a legendary Indian modern artist best known for his deeply symbolic and spiritual abstract paintings. A founding member of the Progressive Artists’ Group, Raza initially painted landscapes in an expressionist style before evolving into geometric abstraction inspired by Indian philosophy, nature, and cultural motifs.

His iconic use of the bindu (a central dot) became a recurring and defining symbol in his work, representing cosmic energy, origin, and consciousness. Influenced by both Western modernism and Indian metaphysical thought, Raza successfully bridged global art movements with Indian tradition. Living between India and France for much of his life, he gained international acclaim, and his paintings have fetched record-breaking prices at major auctions.

Raza’s legacy is celebrated for bringing spiritual depth, cultural identity, and visual innovation into the modern art world.
