Vijay Dhupatre

Vijay Dupatres' subtle and sophisticated art comes forth in an eclectic range of twelve large works of superb finesse. His incredible skill over painting the human body has over time matured like good wine. Rich and brooding the red and black hues and tones offers an impressive and formidable form which always dominates his entire canvas. The striking interplay of black and red transports one into the depths of the innermost echelons of the mind of the man. Vijay Dupatres 'Man' is more clearly defined. They are hard, historic and honed. Their Neanderthal rawness displays sharp almost angular features. He introspects and endeavours to aspire and achieve great heights at the same time being sensitive and seductive. Dupatre centers on the themes of eroticism, identity, localisms and introspection to explore the depths of the man within. The refinement in the creative mastery of his work in this series has over time matured, presenting a serenity which haunts and leaves you with plenty to introspect.
