Gallery Dotwalk presents AA Raiba: The Inner Contour, The exhibition frames A.A. Raiba’s contribution to Indian Modernism through a focused analysis of his definitive use of the line. The curatorial vision of the exhibition highlights contour as an important formal theme of the exhibition. The contour is defined as a mere boundary in conventional artistic practice, but the exhibition showcases Raiba’s use of sharp and lyrical lines in contours, operating as a potent philosophical and formal threshold, capable of grounding subjective experience in visual form. This contour—a deliberate, frequently dark outline—simultaneously separates the figure from the field and links it inexorably to the surrounding cultural landscape of the subcontinent. Raiba’s oeuvre is notably characterised by bold shapes and strong outlines.
