"I twist and turn, curve and straighten often without aim or result. Just an escape, an escapist thing into painting impulsively, compulsively, endlessly, tired, tirelessly, with or without joy."
Lancelot Ribeiro
The Indian Expressionist painter, Lanceloté José Belarmino Ribeiro (1933-2010), was known for his pioneering use of materials, and uniquely experimental work over a six-decade career. He was born in Bombay on 28 November 1933, but his ancestral roots were from Goa.
