L.R.Patil
is deeply concerned about the unholy nexus between fanatics of religion and
self-serving politicians who tear apart the fabric of our society. Man, who
ought to be a thinker because he is blessed with a highly developed mind,
unfortunately becomes a mere tool in the hands of these manipulative forces,
which incite hatred and violence. The horrific destruction of the social
structure is due to the loss of man’s humanity and spiritual inner core.
He
has used different kinds of mediums to give an existential core to what he sees
as a feeling of layers of oppression in an urban setting in which man feels as
if he is constantly on the rack. Every
work expresses what the reality is and what he truly feels.
Born
in 1972, L. R. Patil graduated from Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai India in
1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He received the K.K. Hebber Foundation
Scholarship in 1994.In 1994 he also received the Camlin First Prize for the
