Colours, composition and facial expressions are some of the key elements of figurative painting. But, here the artist Dipendra Pal has defined the figurative or portrait work with the use of fine, strong, sharp, thick, thin, straight, curvy, blur, wavy lines which holds its own character and depth. The minimal use of colours goes well with the subject. I liked the fact that he has played with two colours. It lets the viewer focus on the lines, the character of the portrait rather then get lost in the colours. The tones of black, dark and light, thick and thin substance create magic for the viewer. With these works, you do not feel to go in detailed about colours, composition and other technical aspects. You are like to relax, just ‘let me see it’. What a satisfying experience to just observe this kind of works at the end of the day.
