B Vithal studied at the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai. Apart from being an artist, he was a master sculptor and painter. His sculptural works were known for their monumentality and on the same side, his paintings captured the personal and intimate. From his paintings, the innate understanding of the human form comes through very strongly. Experience: Vithal mostly painted on large canvases and handled the entire surface with ease. His canvases are not precursors to his sculptures; his ability to switch from the 3 dimensions to the 2 dimensions is noteworthy. While he is known for the bulls, which exuded sheer power and force, in his paintings of the horse he is more playful and experiments with their form and translating it into 2 dimensions. Vithal played with his canvases, he moved them all around, working on them from all directions, creating unusual in textures and depths.
