Francis Newton Souza (1924-2002) Untitled (Woman and Man) signed and dated 'Souza 92' upper left mixed media on paper, framed 43.5 x 28cm (17 1/8 x 11in). Footnotes: Provenance Property from a private collection, California. Acquired from Indus Gallery, Karachi in the early 90s. Souza was known for his bold and provocative style that defied convention and challenged societal norms. While his artistic journey is often associated with his prolific output in India and his subsequent international acclaim, his lesser-known works from the 1990s created during his time in Pakistan offer a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-explored chapter of his career. Untitled (Woman and Man) is a quintessential example of his classic style, characterized by raw energy, expressive draughtsmanship and an unapologetic portrayal of the human form. The woman's figure is rendered with bold, sinuous lines, whilst the man's features are distorted and exaggerated to evoke a sense of primal energy. The fiery red and lime green of the man contrast with the white of the woman. The black and dark blue background adds a sense brooding to the work, resulting is an image that is visually arresting and emotionally evocative, drawing us in with its intensity and immediacy.
