                            Culture, Kolkata in 14-19 August 2007  Collection I have always enjoyed painting faces.. they are not 
                          necessarily of people I know, most often they are imaginary. 
                          They are not copies of photographs, I try to present 
                          the subjects in a straight on, direct pose to bring 
                          out aspects of their personalities that would be lost 
                          in a mere photograph. My aim is simplicity, the bare 
                          essentials. The works are in charcoal and acrylic on 
                          canvas, sometimes with a touch of dark cadmium red. 
                          There is a quality in black and white which I find to 
                          be very different from colour and charcoal to be a very 
                          fascinating medium.
