“Abstraction, Fine and Subtle” Late – K.K Nair, The Hindustan Times, New Delhi, 4 November 1972
Abstraction, Fine and Subtle The rectilinear and curvilinear abstraction, practically exhausted of its possibilities by Mondrian and Delaunay, is explored again by Om Prakash and he has come up with new, subtle and exquisite solutions. His success lies in the great thought he gives to compositional construction, fine sense of colour, elegance and tidiness of […]
“Om Prakash’s Unified Vision” Late – K.K. Nair, The Hindustan Times, New Delhi, 18 November 1974
