Waiting In The Wings - Recent Artworks by Mrinal Dey May 7, 2009

Waiting In The Wings - Recent Artworks by Mrinal Dey. Mrinal Dey speaks an artistic language where each image serves as a record of absorption and incorporation. He injects a much needed dose of humour into the restrictive posturing of fine art. His imagery and colours are rich and complex: a veritable homage to modern existence. There is just a hint of calculated outrage at the values of fine art but none of the pomposity or egotism which accompanies a self-conscious artistic solution. These paintings are deliberately accessible incorporating elements of drama, glamour and a passion for gimmicky imagery. There is an almost obsessive preoccupation with style in a manner that is almost sexual. Not unaware of art historical precedents, the artist is flamboyant, irreverent and quirky. With a few more visual puns, his paintings could become even more significant and funny.
