He is one of the pioneering Post-Independence artists of India. Best known for his delicate marbling-like effect on canvas, we often get a feel of Renaissance frescos and Ajanta paintings. He amalgamates imagery from India and Europe and generates a fusion of Indian patterns with color preferences inherited from Fin-de-Siecle and Fauves. His paintings evoke a dreamlike look of time-encrusted fresco, while his sculptural works act as three-dimensional translations of his paintings. Engaging with grace and beauty, he creates a sense of tranquility in his art.

The detailing and expressive use of colour belies a profound thought process. The tranquility and stillness in her work is almost unreal; this leads to a picture- perfect quality in all her works. Based in India as well as in Paris, she is one of the finest women artists of her generation.

She manages very successfully to weave the decorative and design element of the folk idiom into the intricate patterns of her canvas, without Jayasri Burman losing the natural charm and naiveté of her work, which is uniquely her own. Her bronzes in recent years bear her inimitable style and together with her paintings and drawings convey her concern for Indian womanhood poised at the cross-road of tradition and modernity.

Her landscapes draw on her travel and experience, yet consistently link back to her roots in India. Vinita Karim’s gilt-leafed canvases are set around lands lived and imagined, in histories and geographies of her chosen, places rich with meaning and life despite the physical absence of human figures. Hers are narratives built around life-lines of waters, in cities with significant sea histories. Created layer by layer, with lines that are repositories of those memories, she combines the blazing sun in Egypt with the waterways in the Philippines, the banks of Tripoli with the lakes of Switzerland. Vinita weaves her story-songs amongst the waves that wash the banks of waterways, canals, riversides, and seafronts.

He looks at the world through the kaleidoscope of color, skewed and layered imagery. He loves to throw the viewer off balance and make them take a second look at the work drawing them into his world. An element that is of interest in Mansoori’s painting is the use of multiple points of focus. This is a deliberate choice of the artist and can be traced to the imagery of the puppet shows the artist saw as a child in his native village. When Mansoori moved to the city to pursue higher education his paintings initially reflected the city life, but it was gradually that he found his true calling and turned to the experiences and memories from childhood and this has continued to be a wellspring of inspiration.
