Description

This minimalist line drawing by Krishna Shamrao Kulkarni captures a seated figure with exaggerated features, rendered in a single, flowing stroke that evokes both spontaneity and control. The large eyes, stylized hair, and abstract posture reflect modernist influences, possibly echoing Picasso’s cubist sensibility while retaining a distinctly Indian emotional rhythm. The simplicity of the white background and frame enhances the elegance of the form, allowing the viewer to focus on gesture and expression. Kulkarni’s style—rooted in lyrical abstraction and post-independence Indian modernism—transforms minimalism into a meditative exploration of identity and presence.
