Colourful elongated structures closely placed together, reflect light differently during the day. He is passionate about capturing how uniquely the light highlights different portions of the building as the sun moves in the sky. Interestingly, his work borders between lifelike representation and a sophisticated caricature. Suresh Gulage Paintings – shows us with his unique colours, how his village looks in a moonless night or when the sun may have just set over the horizon. The title of each of his paintings guides the audience to what the artist wants to show to them. This colourful visual map takes you to little windows, darkened staircases, to show us what the artist means by ‘Reflection’ and ‘Alone’.
