It begins with sound. A dancer arches upward, her dress becoming a swirl of autumn leaves that pours into the body of a burnt orange cello, while pages of sheet music drift behind her against a soft green ground. Violet petals scatter through the composition like notes that have slipped off the staff. Sushma Mahajan builds the painting the way music builds, from separate phrases into one sweep, and holds its edges in a deep russet border so it feels almost like a stage. It is about the moment love takes over the tempo. It belongs beside a piano, in a bedroom, or anywhere music is played loud and often. Let it keep time for you.
