PORTRAITS

Ranjit Hoskote
Bombay,
Summer 2004
 “.Even as he steps beyond the potential sectarianism of a sexual minority minority, the artist braces it in the mode of inquiry. This duality of attitude is symptomatic of the liminal space, the space of betweenness, that Jani’s figures occupy: while proposing a portraiture of the self, they also point to the permanent Otherness implicit in that self. Rendered in the current moment, coded with its anxieties, they yet encrypt ancestral psychological realities, recall the deep cave of primitive consciousness.”
