Composition

1 Jan 1978

"Composition" is a mixed media print by Jai Zharotia. His works have been compared to Japanese Haikus, with his sparse use of figures on flat colour surfaces equivalent to the musical notes that hang isolated in the space. This is now exhibited in the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi.

Note
The visuals structure in Zharotia's works, like those of the western expressionists as Jean Miro and Paul Klee have a playful element with a softness of painted forms and playful placement of human, animate and inanimate objects in his compositions create a childlike curiosity while viewing his paintings. But even in the presence of this playful element his works have strong suggestion to the society like a dismantled idea of power and authority attributed to masculinity.
