About F N Souza

Francis Newton Souza, whose works figure among the most expensive Indian contemporary paintings, was born on the 12th of April 1924 in Saligao, Goa. He was a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group of Bombay. Souza is one of the most prolific, prominent, and controversial modernists of South Asian art. Souza’s imageries reveled in the grotesque and oscillated between the themes of death, agony, and eroticism. The tormented portraits of Souza unraveled the underlying repression of the human subject. Their struggles to overcome societal regulations, traditional taboos, and religious restrictions, were always externally revealed through the scar-like features on their face. In the post-independent Indian cultural landscape, Souza’s faces dwelled as specters that will haunt us forever, constantly reminding us about the individual pulled down in the vortex of conventions.
