In this work, the first striking element is the use of ‘yellow’. You don't see many works that have such tones of yellow used in this proportion. The style of this work is a mix of conceptual and surrealism. Another interesting element to note here is the originality of the artist style. Everyone paints trees. But, what is important to note for an emerging artist is how to create your own ‘tree’. The same goes for faces. The value of this work is mainly because it is the ‘signature style’ of the artist. This work shows there is no need to fill in the canvas to convey your thoughts. By using only two elements ie. The face and tree, Shri Vasudev has conveyed his concept of ‘theatre of life’.
