STYLE
Barwe`s early paintings, round about the time he was
living in Tantra oriented Varanasi, had a strong linear
quality. But latter his art provided us with proverbial
shock of recognition. His lines makes us enter into
a linear reality, which is generally abstract in three
dimensional, visual world. This linear aspect of the
formal nature of the reality becomes crystal clear to
us as we observes his art.
