With his Indian vision and French sens de la plastique coalescing to create a unique modernism, S. H. Raza has been a master of colours, concepts and creativity. From his early expressionist works to the mesmerizing abstraction of his later years, Raza’s artistic evolution is a testimony to his relentless pursuit of truth through colour and form. As an artist, Raza moved through many dualities, namely home and exile, colour and concept, imagination and thought, modernity and memory, creativity and invention, locale and universality, passion and meditation, anxiety and silence, time and eternity; and also, in a way, between River Narmada of his childhood and the Parisian river Seine from his adulthood. His journey is a testament to the power of artistic vision and cultural amalgamation.
