Artist Profile

Yogesh Rawal (b. 1954)

Yogesh graduated from Sir. J.J. School of Arts, Mumbai and studied Lithography at L’ecole Nationale Superiure Des Beaux Arts, Paris. He studied Etching at Atelier 17, Paris. He has had many solo exhibitions since in 1980 in India and abroad.

His works encompass fascinating collages, sculptures, prints and painted wooden surfaces. “My works stem from personal conversation with myself”, says Rawal. Much of these dialogues are internalised and finally expressed through paintings. Yogesh feels that art teaching often misses out on some of the fundamentals of art practice. Light is one such ‘fundamental’ on which Yogesh dwells at length. Much of his etchings have evolved from the study of light.
