About the artist...
Pratap SJB Rana succumbed to the call of his heart and left a thirty year career in the corporate sector to put brush to canvas. His works are influenced by his origins in Nepal and tenures across South East Asia and Sri Lanka.
Pratap's works are contemporary yet rooted in tradition. The use of bold colours reflects his passion for life, while the layering and play of brushstrokes bring out subtle nuances and rhythm. His paintings are rich in texture and depth and have a minimal approach to the subject, which is used to anchor attention. His deliberate attempt to use simple forms and vivid backgrounds compels the viewer to reflect, abstract and then delve into the concept.
Pratap is currently represented by a number of galleries and is making his presence felt in the art world. His works are now a part of private collections of prominent collectors in India and abroad.
