The artist’s contribution to the Gaur exhibition is characterised by a departure from the analytical rigour that defines his body of work. There he presents small-format paintings intended to convey emotions. These "inner landscapes" symbolise a direct relationship with nature in a form of controlled expressionism, the boundaries of which recall the artist’s keen interest in sculpture.
