STYLE
From after his trip around European Sailozs works
started showing an influence of western art and when
he came back to India his style had already gone through
metamorphosis. Sailoz looked at life and commented on
it with characteristic fervor and exaggeration. His
works of drawings include studies of folk art giving
emphasis on flat colours than the forms. The curved
lines of his drawings had curved lines creating expression
and movement and also gave emphasis on tonal gradation.
Sailozs paintings are full of light and with an air
of movement. He was a great colourist. These qualities
are more evident in the landscape compositions. In the
last years Sailoz developed a style where the subject
matter is virtually abandoned and the colours intermingle
without boundaries, there is extensive scribbling on
the surface of the pictures. His fine sense of color
now gave these pictures a new complexity.
