Untitled – Santosh Rathod

In his recent works, Santosh Rathod plays colour as the protagonist, and each association and interpretation of it becomes the layering and texturizing of these vast colour fields. In these works, Santosh elevates the humble colour pigment from being a tool used in art making to that of an irreplaceable, vital organ which redefines the anatomy of art itself. Santosh depicts the addressal of conflict zones outside and believes they are merely projected mirages of the state of the inside of humankind. If one would find the courage to calm their internal conflict zones, the world would automatically reflect tolerance and harmony.
