Master of the Dew Drops (Prabhu Mahika)

from $145.00

The name is a surprise. Master of the Dew Drops, given to something this large, this iron-heavy, this unhurried in the water.

The hull burns orange and deep red against a landscape that has gone almost entirely to grey. Mist softens the mountains behind it until they are more suggestion than form, and the water below holds the same pale light as the sky, so that the ship seems to float in a space without clear edges. The cranes rise from the deck like antlers, dark against the haze. There is a warmth to this painting that the fog cannot quite absorb.

This is a vessel that carries its name lightly, as if it knows the contradiction and has made peace with it.

Part of the Homeward series, eight head-on portraits of the cargo ships woven into Vancouver's harbour, each paired with the landscapes they pass through on their journey.

Available in Two Formats

Resin Wood Panel Each resin piece is hand-poured over an archival print mounted on a natural wood cradle. The high-gloss finish deepens colour, shifts with the light, and gives the work a luminous, almost three-dimensional presence. Non-toxic and VOC-free. Made on demand, finished by hand. Allow approximately one week for completion and shipping.

Canvas Print Each canvas print is produced using lightfast inks on museum-grade canvas, stretched on 1.5" bars and ready to hang. Colour-corrected to remain true to the original painting. Ships within five to seven business days.
