STYLE
Paniker`s work range extended beyond conventional
boundaries. The ease and fluidity of space, the use
of colour in strong bands, juxtaposed with lighter areas
of luminous shades, the playful use of symbols, signs,
numerals, iconic forms, and mathematical formulae are
all rendered with all sureness. He knew how to take
one small stroke on his canvas and then make an inspired
leap, towards infinity.
