Indian contemporary artist Mithu Biswas invites us to contemplate the intricate dance between power, strategy and individual agency in this composition. We are a part of the social-political landscape, even if we don’t realise it. Sometimes, we are active, while we are only spectators at other times. 

The black and white horse with a flowing mane symbolises humankind. It stares with painful eyes at the sad and adversarial nature of political struggles. The contrasting shades of the chessboard with the defeated king and queen create a compelling narrative in this modern art. 

The Indian female painter uses acrylic on canvas for this painting. It has a dimension of 60 x 43 inches.
