Dusk on the Chowpatty Beach Mumbai (Bombay)

Trained in academic realism in Bombay, S. G. Thakar Singh’s paintings reveal clear, sharply outlined forms, and real-seeming textures. His acumen lay in capturing constantly shifting light, before it faded, with rapid brushstrokes, which is on display in Dusk on the Chowpatty Beach Mumbai (Bombay). Experimenting with numerous colour combinations, Thakar’s strength lay in combining a vivid colour palette and using the paint brush gently to create landscapes that appeared magical. He handled the hues of various colour combinations and their transitions with immaculate precision.
