M.F. Husain's horses are known for their mobility, geometric lines and vibrant colours, says young Delhi-based artist Biswajit Das, who colours his horses in Husain's bright shades and frugal lines.

An exhibition "Horse Power and Cosmic Relation", featuring 34 of his horses is on at the AIFACS Gallery, Delhi. The animals which initially look straight out of Husain's frames later reflect the artist's brush with spirituality. They become meditative creatures in a cosmic space, each conveying a story from Indian mythology.

"I love horses because they are good looking. They are sexy and full of power," Das told IANS.

The artist, who has been inspired by Husain, heads the designing team at the IIPM.

Camellia Suman, another young artist from Bengal, is also sharing the show with Biswajeet. Suman explores female consciousness and man-woman relationship on his mixed media canvases as well as installation art which uses women's accessories and lingerie to peep into a woman's private space.

The show closes June 14.
