Footnotes:
Sohail's paintings are expressionist and range from miniatures to large scale and depict macabre fantasies. He deploys intense colours as can be seen in these lots, which capture the eye, whilst simultaneously unsettling the viewer. Sohail has said that some of his best works were the result of his bouts of depression, and that his works were not meant to decorate our walls, but rather were meant to decorate our minds.
Lot to be sold without reserve.
