the human condition is the main concern of the painter manifested in his early works by the alienated individual within the city. later the city, specifically varanasi with its dilapidated, crammed houses, conveys a sense of hopelessness. increasingly abstract works done in sweeping strokes of paint evoke both exultation of natural spaces and more recently an incipient violence within human habitation.
