Yusuf

Description

Yusuf moved to Bhopal when the late painter J. Swaminathan asked him to join him when he was setting up Bharat Bhavan nearly three decades ago. Swaminathan also considered that “there is none better than Yusuf who understands the meaning and magic of the line.” Whilst writing on Yusuf’s paintings, Madhu Jain remarks “Precision and restraint are the two attributes consistently in evidence in his works. Unsentimental, at times to the point of austerity, the paintings have a palpable rhythm. Keeping time to an internal world, these are cadences made visual”. Yusuf employs the abstract medium for uncovering what is not directly accessible. His paintings hint at a distribution of cosmic bodies, their simultaneous aloofness, gravitation and musical movement. This artwork will be shipped rolled with Crimson’s certificate of authenticity.
