Catalogue for the artist's solo exhibition at Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi from January to February 2011. Text by Yashodhara Dalmia, with a poem by the artist. Includes artist biography. 'In a lifetime's work, viewed as a process, it could be said that Tyeb has achieved on the one hand an articulation of pain and struggle and a saga of survival, and at the same time a painterly language which parallels reality with an equal resilience. The increasing debilitation of political and civic life around him was witnessed with a restrained economy of line which conveyed both the pain and transcending of it as an interlocked movement of form. The works in the present show which span the last two decades of his life exemplify these transformative tendencies.' - Yashodhara Dalmia (excerpt from catalogue essay)
