ABOUT THE ARTIST
CONTEMPORARY ARTIST EXHIBITING WITH DELHI AND MUMBAI GALLERIES
HE was born on 1949 in Behratpur a village near
Kolkatta with education from Rabindra Bharti University, Kolkatta.
HIS collection
evidently comes together as a well-drawn narrative, one that is resplendent and
extremely enigmatic. This collection evokes a rich cultural ethos and heritage,
which of a rich past India possessed. The paintings have an ethereal
characteristic. His brush takes recourse to my past life in village Behratpur in
Kolkata in almost all my creations. His creations speak of social truths. Here
are some instances. A lonely boy from the village finds no friends in the big,
bad city of Delhi. Brooding, he remembers the warmth in his hometown. A woman
pleading with her man to give her space in his life turns blind, crying. But
the man, forever lost in the thought of Lord Krishna, does not pay heed to his
family responsibilities. His men are less forceful than his women in his oil
works.
The colours the
collection uses is so artistically crafted that while it showcases a colourful
and bright Diaspora of Indian ethnicity, one cannot escape the illusion it
creates on the canvas. The colours are magnificently used almost as a game to
create mirages and conjure up hidden images in the minds eyes. The colours
definitely accentuate the powerful metaphors excited through the collection,
and the ambiguity of the many faceless characters of the narrative.
