About Rudra Kishore Mandal

I resumed creating independent artworks in the varied mediums of painting, digital graphics and art installations after moving back to Kolkata in the year 2008.

My art works are an exercise in exploration of the self, as a creature of nature; an evolution through understanding of my physical, sensual and spiritual needs. They are expressions of personal confusions, visions, emotions and realizations. On one hand they are projections of my take on worldly matters, which often baffle and trouble me, and on the other they are personifications of my lunacies, fantasies, magical dreams, wicked thoughts and mischievous self expressions.

From a very tender age, the constant urge to give a tangible form to my flights of imagination and emotions lead me to find different mediums of expression. Through scribbling on the walls to the art classes in school, I have evolved. At college, I fell in love with the translucent water color and the dark etched lines of an ink pen and that is the medium I presently work in.
