Turner Prints Aravind Enrique Adyanthaya Atypical flamingos and egrets emerged in them (from them). Transparently dense landscapes, aquatic leaves, palm trees, flowerings revealed a succulent, elemental, oneiric nature. Elegance. Libido. Infinitude, a suggestion of flesh: the appearance of liquid, supraconscious lives, almost extinct. Metachrosis
