Doss and Usha’s paintings share moments of life that are significant and complete in themselves as it is their visual experience and feeling which reflect in their paintings.
Most paintings of both Doss and Usha capture tradition in different forms. While Doss has chosen to glorify religious forms in his paintings, Usha captures the mood inside homes across different cultural periods.
Doss acrylics and canvas mimic the usage of pastels while Usha leans heavily on the play of light and shadow in her paintings.
