Rabin Mondal | Untitled | Pastel on Paper | 16 x 23 inches | 1981
This expressive pastel work by Rabin Mondal, dated 1981, is a striking example of his deeply emotive and psychologically charged style. The figure, rendered in bold, slashing strokes of vibrant purples, blues, and reds, exudes a sense of inner turmoil and existential weight. Although abstracted, the posture of the figure—hunched and introspective—speaks volumes about vulnerability, despair, or contemplation. Mondal’s use of angular forms and a fractured cubist-like structure adds to the visual tension, while the textured background in luminous green provides an almost surreal contrast to the anguish embodied in the subject. His figures often emerge as silent screamers—muted witnesses to personal and societal suffering, and this piece powerfully aligns with that theme. The technique here, while dynamic and rough, reveals incredible control, with every stroke contributing to the emotional density of the image.
Rabin Mondal was inspired by primitive and tribal art, its potent simplifications and raw energy.
