In India Darji introduced his original style, which has been described as the "Darji effect", he called it Touch of Class. It is a rendition of forms without contrived design; the black line upon the white used in hatches, in swirls, in building up of complex textures which perfectly captures the bright colours of the people of India, their vivid engagement with life and the power of their emotional responses.

The images on this page represent only a small selection of Darji's many Indian paintings.

Darji's original black and white 'Touch of Class' is still in great demand.
