The art of Premalatha Seshadri ‘s work shows a marked quality of the reduction of form to it’s bare essentials; in short she is a minimalist by instinct.The image of the Bird articulates with bare minimum strokes of avian life & moves towards becoming an abstract visual ; a reduction to it’s bare essentials! Being monochromatic adds t the image where less is more!
