Perhaps one of Indian modernism’s most radical artists, Jeram Patel followed up his blowtorch relief works with paintings based on similar morphology, as though to depict the passage of time and the constant erosion taking place in nature. Though painted entirely in black—his preferred choice of colour—Patel manages to bring to it suggestions of volume and pictorial soundness.
