Pankaj Mistry
23rd September to 21st October
Rabindra Bhawan


Pankaj Mistry showcases his recent works at Rabindra Bhavan where his masterful chiaroscuro at once dense and nimble, urgent and orderly, light-hearted and dark; about experiences profound and timeless- like a live wire that crackles from start to finish on bromide/archival paper. An all pervading light permeates through a magic ochre red and burnt sienna. Photographer's description of market place in Trembekshwar or a writer's den in old Goa or Rachol Seminary in Courtolim confirms that feeling of enchantment: for all its perceptiveness is somewhat nostalgic. There are all the ingredients of magic realisme found in Latin American fables of Borges or Marquez.
