“In all these works Prakash comments, there is the element of intuitive creation, an element of suprise for the painter and the effects of the paint when dry and of the design dynamic left by the paint thrown onto the flat canvas. A viewer of these paintings has some leeway interpreting the fluid shapes, as stains on the wall can be read. In all the works a state of being is evoked somewhere between optimism and despair. There is a tension between the light and the dark and these paintings; sometimes the light triumphantly holds its own and sometimes the dark is palpable as in the dot paintings with only small, golden specks of light emerging from and disappearing into the gloom.”
