Paresh Hazra

Description

Paresh dresses his characters with a puppet like quality. His richly textured work unveils the emotions of simple folk. In the early 1990s, he had started working on his most favorite medium Old Egg Tempera (OET), a technique that I had learnt from Christian Puard, a French painter. The application technique of this medium was completely different from what he had learned at art college. Paresh has established this old egg tempera practice as part of as his own identity through his artworks. He uses only natural pigment colors and no other commercial or synthetic colors and processes and also at the same time experiments on the surface matrix creating innovative effects. This artwork will be shipped flat with Crimson’s certificate of authenticity.
