An elegantly composed painting, this oil on paper attempts to
explore mood rather than technical mastery. We see a diagonally
placed pathway, across which a woman is walking away from the
viewer. A slanting tree can be seen beside her. In the right hand
corner of the painting, the artist has painted two buffaloes
wading through a water body: their heads tilted upwards towards
the walking woman. A mood of longing-ness is evoked through the
tilted heads of the buffaloes and the woman who walks away from
the viewer.
The expressivity of Sailoz Mukherjee takes a conventional form,
yet his paintings convey the truth in a wholesome way. Though
economical, the picturization suggests a dialogue between the
buffaloes and the lone woman figure.
