Art curators and critics view Alphonso Arul Doss (1939-2021) as a pivotal Indian artist and educator known for his profound spirituality, vibrant depictions of religious role in the Madras Art Movement. Curators highlight his journey from realism to a unique style exploring global faiths, seeing his work as a reinterpretation of art history, emphasizing empathy, light, and a deep human connection to divinity.
- Spirituality & Syncretism: Doss, often called "The Reverend," blended Christian upbringing with a deep interest in world religions.
- The Madras Art Movement: He was a significant figure, a mentor, and former Principal of the Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai, influencing generations of artists, says The Hindu.
- Empathy & Humanity: Curators, like those involved in his retrospective, emphasize his focus on compassion, kindness, and seeing humanity first, rather than just art for art's sake, according to The Hindu.
- Light & Color: Doss's artistic process involved deep studies of light, how it changes perception, and its interplay with color, creating vibrant, almost monochromatic early works and luminous later canvases, mentions In essence, curators see Alphonso Doss as a spiritual painter who transformed traditional religious art into a deeply personal, universally resonant visual language, grounded in empathy and a lifelong quest for understanding divinity, says Artsy and The Hindu.
