A sense of serenity and suspense pervade the large-scale watercolor, oil, and mixed-media paintings of Indrapramit Roy where an understated atmosphere of anticipation is conveyed in the absence of human presence. Luminous twilight cityscapes, shadowy light in an empty room, familiar objects discovered in unexpected places or the dual sense of comfort and unease suggested by disheveled sheets on an abandoned bed elude specific narratives but suggest both the tranquility of solitude and the anonymity of loneliness.
