The gift to create form, from the mist of imagination, is pure magic!

The Ventriloquist


20.5x28.5 inches; Pen drawing on handmade paper with watercolour wash (Click on image to enlarge)

Play with me
Come, pull the string…
Speak through me
You can hear me sing.

Limelight’s on me
You put me there.
When I’ll take over
You’ll cease to be here.

You think you’re strong?
The one in control?
The tables will turn,
With the drum on the roll.

You will call me a monster,
I was moulded by you.
You’ll play the victim
And ask, ‘who’s playing who?’

- Rudra Kishore Mandal
