Heavy : Illustration Friday
15 03 2008
Sometimes, when there is a heavy load to bear, you have to walk alone.
This painting has been inspired by Tagore’s poem “Ekla cholo re” (walk alone) and is one of 10 paintings that go on display at the “Friends and Faces” exhibition starting tomorrow and continues till the end of the month.
If you happen to be in Dhaka, please drop by at the Art Gallery, Ground Floor, Standard Chartered Bank, Gulshan Avenue anytime between 9am and 8pm (except on holidays) and do leave us you comments. Look forward to seeing you there.
“Ekla cholo re” 24″ By 36″ acrylic on canvas

Indeed, his face looks laden with heavy thougts!
This painting really speaks to me.
Such an expressive painting, Ujwala. The approach to composition, colour and mark-making is so thoughtful. Wonderful stuff.
I like the impressionistic nature of this piece. Also, it has both motion and emotion. Really nice!
i almost went a heavy-eyelids thing this week. like the unstable horizon: it somehow adds more empathy to your protagonist.
wonderful illustration! very intense
I love how the face pops right out at you with the heaviness of thought! Good luck with your exhibit!
