SADEQUAIN
The Holy Sinner
Sadequain
initially
rose to distinction by painting human sketches, mostly angular and in nude. This
earned him the title of a Holy Sinner. His famous angular, lean figures, usually
clad in/around cactus not only showed the miseries of the people around him, or
perhaps himself too, but also showed his craftsmanship and master strokes. His
figures were generally linear and elongated. Sadequain usually coloured his paintings in purple,
aqua and orange. Then a changed occurred in him in the early 70s when he started
painting calligraphies and that too Quranic calligraphy. So much was the
euphoria thereafter that new painters / calligraphists emerged copying his
artwork or being inspired by his work. His work continued till his death - but
no parallel will ever be there like him. Sadequain also painted on
Ghalib
and his poetry - a few of his art work is being added shortly
