HIS PAINTINGS ONLINE ARE AVAILABLE ON ARTZYME.COM. DATTAPRASANNA RANE WAS BORN IN 1952 AT VILLAGE TALERA IN KONKAN. HE DID FOUNDATION COURSE IN ART FROM THE SIR J.J. SCHOOL OF ART, BEFORE JOINING RAHEJA COLLEGE IN BANDRA, MUMBAI. "I'VE NOT BEEN INFLUENCED BY ANY TEACHER. WHAT I AM TODAY, I HAVE MYSELF SHAPED OVER THE YEARS," HE SAYS. RANE IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE FEW PAINTERS OF HIS GENERATION WHO CAN CLAIM A COMPLETE MASTERY OVER THE ORCHESTRATION OF COLOR AND TEXTURE. THE OUTLINE OF HUMAN FORMS THAT HE PROJECTS GLOW IN A KIND OF MISTY LIGHT. IT IS QUITE REFLECTIVE OF THE LIGHT IN HUMBLE KONKAN DWELLINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SUNLIGHT SEEPS THROUGH THE APERTURES OF THE TILED ROOFS. THE TREATMENT OF HUMAN FIGURES IN HIS PAINTINGS IS QUITE REMINISCENT OF THE STYLE FOUND IN MURALS IN AJANTA. THE MEN AND WOMEN HE PAINTS RESEMBLE THOSE HE MUST HAVE OBSERVED BACK IN HIS VILLAGE; YOU SEE THEM CHATTING OUTSIDE A RURAL HUT OR AGAINST IT, WITH THE BACKGROUND OF NATURE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ROMANTICISM TOWARDS RURAL LIFE IN THE WAY THE PEOPLE AND THE VILLAGES ARE DEPICTED IN RANE`S WORK. SO DEEP IS THE ARTIST`S ATTACHMENT TO HIS ROOTS THAT MOST OF HIS PAINTINGS DEPICT VILLAGE MEN EATING AT THEIR DINNER TABLES, OR COUPLES PLAYING PIPES, OR WOMEN WITH ROOSTERS AND PIGEONS; ALL INFUSED WITH A NOSTALGIA FOR A HOME HE HAS LEFT BEHIND. THERE IS A FRAGILE, ALMOST DELICATE QUALITY, TO THE FIGURES HE PAINTS.
