Get ready for war! A study in sheet metal manufacturing processes, this chess set combines visions of knights templar with modern industrial sophistication. Whilst the world may exist in shades of grey rather, our antagonists have clearly chosen which side of the moral divide they lie. The opposing armies stand firm to their resolve in polished chrome, pristine and pure reflecting all that is there to see and glossy black the representative of the forces of darkness, ultimate evil.
Whilst most objets d'art in the modern Indian cultural landscape have either ethnic pretensions or are symbols of rudimentary manufacturing or handicraft processes, this piece exudes Bauhaus, being egalitarian, born of mass manufacturing processes. It also hearkens to the history of that land which gave us Bauhaus, to that era of the Knights Templar on their crusades. The fields of war have been left as they are, rich green and clear unspoilt at the start, neither good nor evil, but of nature omnipresent in all its richness and greenery as symbolized by the glass base with frosted squares.
