Restless Ribeiro: An Indian Artist in Britain
Lance Ribeiro (1933-2010) was born in Bombay to a long-established Catholic Goan family. He trained as a chartered accountant before turning to painting, rapidly becoming a successful artist with a following throughout India, Europe and North America. He settled in Britain in the 1960s. A prolific artist, his images were drawn from an imagination running at full-sized, inspired by his roots in Old Goa and by an obsession with Catholic religious imagery. This is his first major exhibition in Britain for over 25 years.
