Freedom is the most expensive commodity; nature the most dangerous beauty. My work examines both. My art depicts a delicate world that is also aggressive, tangled, manipulated, fragile, and very, very dense.
–Rina Banerjee

Dangerous World, lava and erasable flower, oil and radiation filled with power presents a group of female figures captivated by the strange forms hovering over them as they float above amorphous terrain. Banerjee frequently places her subjects in fantastic landscapes that are in a state of transformation and that feature creatures that appear to be hybrids of bird and beasts. Her loosely gestural rendering of the scene accentuates and exaggerates its outlandishly unreal character.
