Prabhakar Barwe’s art was a triumph of form and colour on the surface that he chose to work on—canvas, paper, or anything else. Deeply influenced by Paul Klee, his works were a journey into developing the strength of the lines, mastering the control of the brushstroke, setting into harmony and rhythm a work of art that achieved a fine balance. All of these elements are exemplified in this Untitled work along with a vibrancy that makes one wonder if it is resonating like a song? published references
