Krishna in the Tree (Two works)
Anthony Fry's "Krishna in the Tree" comprises two works on paper executed around 2003, including an oil painting on tracing paper alongside a preparatory drawing rendered in pen, ink, and colored pencil. The paired works demonstrate Fry's exploration of the Hindu deity Krishna through both developmental and finished stages, with the delicate translucency of the tracing paper support creating a distinctive luminous quality in the oil composition. Together, these complementary pieces reveal the artist's creative process while engaging with spiritual and mythological subject matter characteristic of his practice.
