Event Details : Husain Par Fida, artist Ravi Gossain presents a brand new series of life-size canvases to fill the void of Husain’s absence during India Art Summit
While the entire art fraternity has reacted to M. F Husain’s exclusion from the India Art Summit second year in the running, some cautiously and some sharply, there are others who have taken a completely different route to keep the Husain legend alive during this time. Self-confessed Husain admirer and artist Ravi Gossain has created a brand new series of life-size canvases portraying various nuances of Husain’s persona, but especially his loneliness in exile, that will be showcased.
Titled Husain Par Fida, the exhibition is an artistic tribute to the master through life-size canvasses with some being as large as 7ft x 16 ft. Showing Husain in various moods, ranging from the playful as in Husain & Henry Moore to the morose as in Husain in ICU, the entire show is both serious and comical at the same time.
Says Nidhi Jain, Director, Gallery Ragini: “As the Art Summit comes close and the entire city prepares itself for a spurt of fresh creativity, is it really fine for us to forget one of the pioneers in Indian contemporary art? I hope the show by Gossain will be a humble attempt to fill the void created by Husain’s absence.”

Place : Gallery Ragini, F - 213 C, Lado Sarai, New Delhi
