Rabin Mondal

This impassive multicolored face shorn of ears and hair is almost like a Picasso-esque mask. The right eye is blood-shot the left eye is blackened yet the face doesnt seem threatening perhaps because it is In one composite the face of both the victim and the aggressor a melange of Vibhatsa-rasa grotesque and Shanta-rasa calm according to ancient Indian aesthetics. Rabin Mondals masterful brushwork is clearly visible rendering the entire VIBGYOR palette into a powerful whole. After the sad demise of the artist in 2019 the prices of his remaining artworks are appreciating.
