His ink on paper works evoke an impressive complexity through simplicity, akin to Paul Klee's 'taking a line for a walk' drawings. Deb possesses qualities of a master draftsman, for example a single line, straight and horizontal, can become the horizon, the hull of a boat, the division of two dimensional space or a roof top.
