Haren Vakil is a mixed media artist who uses a variety of mediums: water soluble graphite pencils, wax and pencil crayons, acrylic paints and inks of various colours. For this exhibition, he is experimenting with Yupo paper. The smooth texture of Yupo offers a resilient ground for ink washes. “I have to use different techniques with this paper,” he says, “paint in a looser style with my various pigments.”
