Description

C. Douglas joined the Madras movement with K.C.S. Paniker with whom he moved to the Cholamandal artist's village.

Douglas' formal structures loosened up, giving way to create multi-textured surfaces. In his mixed-media works, Douglas uses a few techniques such as crumpled papers, canvases washed many times, red mud mixed with Fevicol used as a colouring agent, and papers pasted on canvas. Douglas went on to find abstractions with patterns, rhythms, and structures through brush strokes and colour values in his decidedly dramatic works.
