  • Abstract:
  • Ranbir Kaleka is an innovative contemporary Indian multi-media artist internationally renowned for his unique video paintings. His artwork ‘Fables from the House of Ibaan’ (2007) blends painted canvas with single-channel video projection, creating a hybrid medium where static images gain lifelike movement. This engages viewers through its narrative, symbolism, and technical innovation. This study explores Kaleka’s artistic vision and technique, and analyzes the meaning and message woven in his work. It argues that ‘Fables from the House of Ibaan’ is not just an artwork, but an experience that inspires viewers to think, feel, and imagine.
