3. Anju Dodiya, Mourner in Rose Print, 2004 | Vadehra Art Gallery

4. Balance:
Dodiya could achieve balance in her composition
by carefully distributing visual elements such as
figures, symbols, and negative space throughout
the artwork. This could create a sense of
equilibrium and harmony, mirroring the emotional
balance sought during the mourning process.
Scale:
The singular person in frame highlights the
individual and focuses on the grief of the woman.
These patterns might symbolize the cyclical
nature of grief, the interconnectedness of
memory, or the enduring presence of loss.
Unity/Variety:
Unity is achieved through the use of a limited
color palette or recurring shapes, figurines
throughout the composition. Variety is
introduced through contrasting colors and
textures.

5. Movement:
Dodiya might create a sense of movement in
"Mourners" through the arrangement of
elements or the use of directional lines and
shapes. This movement could suggest the
passage of time or the emotional journey of
mourning, guiding the viewer's eye through the
composition in a deliberate manner.
Rhythm:
Through the repetition or alternation of elements,
Dodiya could establish a rhythmic quality in
"Mourners" that echoes the ebb and flow of
emotional intensity. This rhythmic repetition helps
to unify the composition and create a sense of
continuity and coherence

7. Samir Sarkar, TheSoundsofHarmony 2004 | Gallery Kolkata

8. Unity/Variety:
Unity is achieved through the use of a limited
color palette or recurring shapes, figurines
throughout the composition. Variety is
introduced through contrasting colors and
textures.
Scale:
All the figures are of the similar scale, indicating
equal emphasis on each person.
Balance:
Sarkar could achieve balance in his composition
by carefully distributing visual elements such as
figures, symbols, and negative space throughout
the artwork. The orange-blue hue balance is a
classic color combination that has been used to
denote duality.

9. Movement:
The themes and movement of lines are such that
we are directed to the musical instruments that
each person holds.
Rhythm:
The layering technique and use of acrylic paints suggest a
rhythmic process in Sarkar's artistic approach. The
repetition of brushstrokes and patterns, as well as the
progression of colors and forms, contribute to the overall
rhythm and flow of the composition, enhancing the
viewer's engagement with the artwork.
