K C S Paniker was a contemporary of G D Paulaj, Paniker was born in 1911 and died in 1977 and studied in Madras and went onto to be Principal at the college where he studied. A painting by Paniker has just sold on Ebay for $600 which is quite cheap considering a few years ago one of his more modern paintings sold for $43,000 in the USA. The painting which just sold today is very bright and was painted in 1948 according to the signature. More information on him can be found at the following link.
I would be interested to know if anyone can identify the scene or the location was in real or imaginery? There appears to be a lot of people in boats and some kind of jetty or pier?
The signature is interesting as it seems that Paniker dated his paintings, very helpful to the collector, I wish more artists would do this. The painting which sold in the USA for $43,000 is below and as you will see this is a quite different style.
I prefer his earlier work but what do I know? Hope you like this painting. Shame it was not me who bought it.
