Yogesh Rawal’s oeuvre comprises a collection of fascinating works, and encompasses the genres of collage, sculpture, printmaking and painting. His untitled abstractions are brought to life by his clever use of paper collage, cellulose and synthetic resin. Even though Rawal seems to possess an innate sense of colour, his use of pigments is minimal. Viewers will often find his palette monochromatic, or simply reduced to black and white.
Rawal’s compositions stem from thoughtful conversations that the artist has with himself. These personal dialogues are then processed through the varied techniques learnt by the artist, resulting in remarkable finished images. Rawal has always considered light to be a fundamental element of art, and the study of this element is of utmost importance in his works. His deep understanding of light and shade often leaves his viewers amazed at his ability to manipulate it in his multi-layered works. Many of the artist’s etchings have also evolved from his study of light and its effects.
Born in 1954 in Wankaner, Saurashtra, Yogesh Rawal graduated from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, in 1978. In 1979 he received a scholarship from the French Government to study lithography at the renowned L’ecole National Superieure des Beaux-arts, Paris. In 1980 he studied etching at Atelier 17, also in Paris. The artist has won several awards and has exhibited all over India, Europe and the United States. His most recent solo exhibitions include those held at Aicon Gallery, New York, in 2007; Pundole Art Gallery, Mumbai, in 2005; and Admit One Gallery, New York, in 2000.
Rawal divides his time between Bhopal and Mumbai.
