ARNAB GHOSAL
1972 born, self-taught lens-based artist practicing from Santiniketan, INDIA. I started my photographic journey with film rolls and darkroom chemicals during my school days and still continuing with contemporary digital mediums. My works circles around topics related to ruins, architecture, urban space, and the memories of life. My images show abundance and loneliness, diptych or triptych Images involve exploring the concept of the fluidity of space, the non-linear movement of time, and memories focus primarily on the early stages of the architecture and its absence presently.
