Untitled (Two Sisters)

Sailoz Mookherjea’s mature style involved making scratches on his paintings while still fresh, often with the tail end of his painting brush, adding both texture and depth to his work, besides a quality of lyricism that became his hallmark. The two women—sisters—in this painting are rendered as flat colours over which the artist’s scratched doodling has resulted in the addition of features and other attributes by which one may attest the subject of his painting.
