Gujral was one of the very few artists who produced a body of works that drew attention to the plight of people who lost homes and families in the riots and mob violence during the partition.
He drew on the melancholy and poignancy of the situation where humanity and friendships were altered forever. In early 1950’s his works exhibit a strong expressionist brushwork which he developed while in Mexico.
Gujral’s works arched towards abstraction around the late 1950’s portraying scenes of extra-terrestrial objects in the space. Sculpture par excellence, he used a variety of industrial materials in steel, copper, glass & enamel in his works. Later, his canvases embraced distinct lines which perhaps reflected a quieter phase in his own life..
