‘Over time, Haloi has given shape to an earth-toned abstract vocabulary that draws on a vast breadth of iconography, ideas, and movements: across sacred architecture, the Indian miniatꦚure painting tradition, the pilgrim city of Varanasi, and geographic terrain (the character of agrarian topography, flora, and stratification of rocks). In his paintings, Haloi is an itinerant traveler and so is the viewer—within strangely unbound time, one takes passage across the vastness of landscape, a floating geometry, the seduction of lines.’
