Bansi Parimu painted Kashmir in all its colours. Parimu (1933-1991) had a distinctive and individualistic style of ‘Abstract Landscapes’ which earned him a special place in the world of contemporary Indian art. More organic than geometrical, the modern abstractionism of his work was marked by his strong association with the valley, which remained the inspiration of his creativity right up to his death.
