Light was for others to claim, I just looked on: Rabin Mondal
Prolific modernist Rabin Mondal spent a lifetime painting human suffering
Painted in bold strokes and rich hues, artist Rabin Mondal’s figures often stared at the viewers. They were stark and desolate, reflecting Mondal’s observations of life around him and urging for empathy. He worked towards the endeavour till the very end. On July 2, the Kolkata-based artist breathed his last. He was 90. “His perspective was art that is beautiful is not art. For him, art being a mirror to society was a very important aspect,” says Kishore Singh, Head of Exhibitions and Publications, DAG. The gallery acquired Mondal’s estate over a decade back and organised a retrospective of his work in 2014.
