The Siri Tari VIII, 1993 from the Tari Series revolved around social remarks and until thisday, remained as his most popular and coveted series. He uses dance paintings to portray human behaviour and to experiment with lines, movement and colour. Despite how elegant this painting of dancing looks, it was never intended to be graceful. The lines and sketches on this artwork were executed freely and spontaneously in a frenzied and haphazard manner.
