Gatway of india is an 18" x 15" acrylic original by artist Somnath Bothe. Note: the title as submitted read "Gatway of india" — corrected here to "Gateway of India" for clarity.
The Gateway of India rises in soft, monochrome grey through a heavy mist, its arch and turrets rendered with enough architectural precision to be immediately recognizable even as the fog dissolves its edges into the sky behind it.
In the foreground, two horse-drawn victoria carriages face away from the viewer toward the monument, each topped with a canopy umbrella — one teal, one deep blue — the only saturated color in an otherwise almost entirely grey and white composition.
Bothe uses that color restraint deliberately: small figures with umbrellas move faintly in the misted middle distance, barely more than suggestion, keeping full visual weight on the monument and the two carriages closest to the viewer.
Wet reflections beneath both carriages, worked in the same cool grey palette as the sky, extend the atmosphere of the scene down into the ground itself, reinforcing the sense of recent or continuing rain.
This restrained, near-monochrome treatment of a famous landmark, broken by one or two precise color accents, is a technique Bothe also uses in his other cityscape work in this collection.
The compact horizontal format suits a hallway, study, or a grouping with the artist's other cityscape pieces, where the shared atmospheric technique ties the works together.
This is a hand-painted acrylic original on canvas, not a reproduction. The fine mist and reflection work is built up in soft, layered washes distinct from the more defined architectural linework of the monument itself.
Gatway of india finds its color in two small umbrellas rather than in the monument itself, letting a famous landmark recede into weather while an ordinary, everyday detail catches the eye first.
Gatway of india sits alongside pieces like Devotee of pashupati in Bothe's Guest Artist collection, part of Bothe's atmospheric treatment of everyday Indian streets and river ghats. As a gallery-wrapped acrylic on canvas, it can be hung unframed for a clean, contemporary look, or set into a simple floating frame for a more finished edge. Beyond the spaces already suited to it, Gatway of india also works well in a music room for a slightly different feel.
Works like this one are built up gradually in layers, with the final surface holding the marks of that process rather than smoothing them away. Natural, indirect light tends to bring out the surface texture best; direct sun for long periods should be avoided so the colour stays true over time.
