Postcard drawings. 

Artist Yogendra Kumar Purohit has created about many drawings on postcard dimensions 14X9 cm issued by the Indian Postal Service  http://www.indiapost.gov.in  and this series of artworks is growing with the time. 

Mr. Purohit uses very simple material, just ink pen and postcard. The way it is drawn looks simple yet we can feel the mastery in the drawings with unbroken, neat lines. The combination of colors, space, shape, and lines being arranged meaningfully. These drawings consist of airplanes, fishes, elephant and flowers, heart sign and some lines which feels like mountains and some lines are shaped in form of doors and windows similar to mud house seen in Rajasthan. 

The author can assemble these symbols with the use of postcard. As if a postcard has been send to someone faraway with a message as mostly poor people use it. It is open letter that anyone can read it. 

The lines of the drawings guides our eyes to see one thing after another which forms an interesting story at the end. It feels as if postcard travels all over world. e.g. through ships, aircrafts and they cover mountains, sea, and land. It feels that everything is connected beautifully. It is utterly magnificent to see similar things arranged differently in each drawings on those postcards. One just gets mesmerized in his work for a long, long time.
