Highlighting Panchal's signature colours - a brilliant orange, a cerise pink and the burnt umber and burnt sienna that he uses for skin tones - Autumn is all about an uncomfortable relationship and the lack of communication: about the distancing between two individuals who have been close. Based in some ways around the circumstances of Panchal's own painful divorce, the two figures pause on a bridge, a pictorial device suggesting both physical connection and a path to separation. The blank walls of the house in the background provide a brooding backdrop; it is no longer a welcoming home but the literal and metaphorical 'brick wall' up against which the couple have found themselves.
