Suhas Shilker, through his scribbles, wiggles and broad brush strokes has continuously captured the imagination of viewers who find meaning in the bold reds and subtle shades of greens and greys forming creative and yet mysterious designs to each one. An artist who for over 30 years has been working with abstracts, Suhas felt it fit to describe this collection of over 25 works as "The Mystery Returns"

The 53-year-old veteran abstract artist has been steadily working on his 'mark making' ever since he graduated from Goa College of Art in 1982. Thirty years of practising abstract art, a genre that refuses to depict the physical world in traditional 'figurative' ways, have given Shilker a distinct visual style and language. His images throb with emotion. Violent reds flare in one work, while a horde of gray despairing lines rush into a black abyss in another.
