Rini Dhumal

Rini Dhumal was born in 1948 in West Bengal, India and is considered one of the country’s leading artists. She has had several solo and group shows both domestically and abroad and is internationally recognized. Rini assesses self-experiencing moments of awareness – dramatizing, fantasizing, remembering and occasionally re-inventing significant imagery in her continuing path towards what could be construed as a journey of self-discovery. She lives, paints, sculpts and also teaches now in the city of Baroda, Gujarat, after having studied in Bengal and Paris. Rini’s subjects are invariably women, like the mixed media on canvas “Queen”, or the depiction of the awesome Hindu Goddess Durga in the same medium; these memory-ripened, inward looking images appear deeply personal and lend an emotional climate of introspection. Then there are the bold use of fantasy and imagination, as in “Creature”. Rini’s women are usually center-stage and flanked by strange looking cats or birds, or dramatic flowers and assorted plumage. For Rini’s audience, her paintings succeed in opening a door to less bleak image of art, and life itself.
