Catalogue note

Mondal’s Ancestors explores human suffering and oppression. Stark, skeletal figures painted in bold strokes convey anguish and resilience — a powerful example of his socially conscious expressionism.

About the artist

Rabin Mondal

1929–2019 · Indian

Rabin Mondal's kings, queens and ancestors — mask-like figures built from thick, worked paint — are a reckoning with the violence and displacement he witnessed in post-Partition Bengal.
