Personages

In this painting, excuted in coloured inks, the artist has portrayed a row of highly stylized and geometric-looking figures. There appear to be three female figures and two male ones. These are composed entirely of vertical and circular forms in pastel colours (red, brown) as well as grey and black. The figures are reminiscent of the child-like watercolours of Swiss painter Paul Klee.

Avinash Chandra was born in Simla in 1931. He studied at the Delhi Polytechnic Art School from 1947-1951. The artist exhibited his work internationally. The artist died in 1991.
