Untitled

A colourist par excellence, H. A. Gade conveys through this Untitled painting a range of emotions, something that he often did with his colour palette. The painting is reflective of the artist’s ethos of creating juxtaposition of colour with its emotive functions. ‘Obsessed with colour’ by his own admission, Gade creates here a pictorial experience purely through colour, allowing viewers to soak its technical and spatial attributes. Gade, literally, ‘speaks in colour’ in this painting, urging us to look at the compositional structure and meditate on it.
