ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ajay De born and brought up in a tiny suburb of Kolkata. He joined Government College of Arts and Crafts to take formal education in art and did post graduation at Sir. J.J. School of Art, Mumbai. He had his first solo show in Kolkata and first group show in Delhi.
The stark black and white paintings of the Japanese masters were a major influence, as was Japanese calligraphy. The theme of the hard-working rickshaw puller- unseen, unknown, fleeting through the crowded, narrow streets of Kolkata, carrying a load or man through sun, rain and wind, with the pace of the wind, as unheard as ever, except for the clang of their bells has got amazing popularity in Kolkata. This show was a great success and he started working from Mumbai. In 1998, he had his exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. His work was received well overseas.
He started experimenting with acrylic - adding a dash of color to his charcoal works. Shades of red made their appearance in the Ganesha series and blue in the Mother Teresa Series. Over the years, he has been able to find his home in this medium, reaching ever greater levels of intimacy and expression. The vibrancy of charcoal fascinates him and it's like his magic wand.. his silent voice, helps him to perfectly express his feelings and emotions on paper.

Other Details: As a child Amit’s first love being art, his notebooks at school were invariably filled with sketches and paintings. The scintillating, pristine, rustic beauty of rural Bengal inspired him to take to the brush at a very tender age.
The clear blue skies, fallen autumn leaves, grazing cattle and the daily life of the village, nestled on the banks of the river Hoogly have been his inspiration.
Amit speaks of his style as “…a new semi realistic technique of texturing with the play of light and shade”.
Amit’s expression of every subject on canvas, leads the viewer to re-examine the threshold between illusion and reality, between waking and dreaming.

The little 'pujari' and 'pujarin' completely reign over the picture surface created by Anand Panchal. These exemplify not only the quiet and peace which goes synonymous with temple and Gods but they also effulge with truthfulness and modesty which are akin to childhood. These very young men and women portray certain strength and depth of character which in intensity can surpass same attributes possessed by many elder folic.
Children naturally absorb and get camouflaged into their environment. They intuitively grasp and inculcate into themselves habits, actions and words that exist in their surroundings. Similarly, the children of the temple priests in the paintings by Anand Panchal reflect the ambience, essence and sacredness of the temple culture as these are the places where these kids live and roam.
There is a spiritual side to the works by Anand Panchal that captivates the viewer completely and for a long time. At first glance itself one can get totally immersed into the wide open yet very tender eyes of the adolescents in the works. The clear and pure depth in the eyes are like open doorways to the soul of the bearer. These eyes belong to innocent souls of unpretentious modesty which conceals nothing behind the facade of made up illusions. The strength of these children truly lies in their innocence and their naive yet serene attitude which glistens and shines as strongly and brightly as precious stones.
There is an overall essence of angelic tidiness and intrinsic glow in the paintings which grants the works the feel of being lit up. An invisible source of light illuminates all the nooks and corners of the paintings and leaves no dark and dull spots. Lyrical floral clusters get defined and softly diffused into the space in some sections of the works. These not only break the balance of an otherwise still moment but they also symbolize thoughts of these little men and women in a uniquely sensitive manner.
The artist with an apt hand transforms the vicinities of the canvas into a space where neatness of the spirit and godliness gets expressed. He sensitively delineates his figures in such a manner that more often man once they reflect the radiance and grace similar to that of Krishna, Rama, Radha and many other known and unknown gods.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in 1969, Anil Gaikwad left his Fine Art education in between and left Indore for direct education from Life. Has ten one man shows to his credit and participated in many International-national group shows. His interest in art is to explore different aspects of the worldly life. He plays with colors and textures in both painting and sculptures. He extend his learning by wondering in Ceramics world. His liking for forms become more significant when he did some sculptures in metal. He enjoys different medium as well as organizing art events on different cause. He has many Awards to his credit including Raza Puruskar.
Anil Gaikwad’s works have a sublime, serene aura of their own; brought out by the cool lighting, like moonlight, or the light from a sunset or dawn. The images may give a reminder of landscapes, but is clearly not one. The artist is in fact delving into the inners cape, which can be called the terra incognita. It is an unknown place, only explored within dreams, or in moments of tranquility. The artist starts with a canvas painted in black,to symbolize darkness and uses other colors to search for illuminating signifiers in different tonal variations. The canvases become a meditative place to realize one’s own feel for the nature and self.
Anil Sen 1950
Graduated from Indian Art College, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata in 1973.
Participated in all India exhibitions and group shows in major cities in India and abroad. Also five solo exhibitions in Kolkata and Bhopal.

The Conviction
Are artists different? No, just that every individual is a different kind of artist.
The Canvas
“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
~ Albert Einstein

I like to depict the modern times when people have lost all human contact and have become mechanised. They read newspapers, pick up some jargon and communicate most of the time by telephone. As a painter, I throw light on these aspects where traditions are breaking down and the relationship between generations is getting lost.
Ashok Mullick is considered one of the leading painters from the Bengal School of Art. Mullick combines a sense of satire with contemporary conditions. His paintings focus strongly on the ordinary man and the contradictions he faces.
Sometimes the look is satiric at other times, it is compassionate, says Mullick of his own works. He uses colours like greens and blues to depict a largely urban India.
Mullick was educated at the Fine Arts Government College, Kolkata. He was greatly fascinated and influenced by works of painters like Gaganendranath Tagore. I was also influenced by German Expressionism that linked art to life. The effects I create are intentional and I want them to become a part of visual experience, he says.
He mostly works in oil on canvas, because as he says, That’s the medium which let’s me experiment the most and which helps me to depict modern life, which in some ways is surrealistic.
Ashok Mullick lives and works out of Kolkata.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Asit Kumar Patnaik is an emotionally sensitive person and his paintings appear to be a direct reflection of his personality. The images that emerge from his paintings seem to have tremendous depth in their characters in spite of apparently mundane situations.
The artist feels that the true depth of feelings surfaces in emotionally moving circumstances and not necessarily in trying situations. It is the depth of emotions and feelings that separate us from animals and we need to nurture these, rather than curb apparent the need to cry or express love.
There is intangibility in Patnaik’s works, of words left unsaid, a certain sensitivity or sharing of feelings, and his technique and choice of colors and textures accentuate that. He appears to be in full control of the medium and is confident of bold strokes and experimentation’s to bring out his feelings on canvas. The subjects are simple, yet the treatment is what matters.

Atin Basak says that his recent body of work represents the beliefs and ways of life in the East or the Orient. The recluses and sages that he creates in his etchings and lithographs on paper have a certain quality that places them above and beyond the ‘madding crowd’ of humanity. Although they are alone, they seem to be perceptive, judicious and erudite people who have seen and experienced the world as it is, and then made the choice to live apart from it.In works with titles like ‘Hermit’ and ‘Solitude’, the artist’s flawlessly controlled use of shade and texture helps to build the characters of these subjects adeptly depicting their self-confidence and personal power. Basak places Sanskrit letters in these works to similarly portray a sense of age-old tradition, understanding and wisdom in a world that seems to have forgotten the value of everything that is not modern.Born in Kolkata in 1966, Atin Basak studied painting in this city and later received his MA in printmaking from a Baroda art college. All through his career he has received several awards, prominent among them the 1999-2000 Charles Wallace India Trust Arts Award and a scholarship from the French Government to work in their country as a visiting artist.Collections of his works are housed in the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Lalit Kala Academy in New Delhi, the Baroda Palace Museum, the British Council in Bombay as well as in personal collections in Bombay, Calcutta, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Belgium, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Germany, France, Japan and the UK.

My Thoughts: A Blissful display of the memories of cherished life, mode of consciousness, the calm and tranquil of Lord Buddha, a devotion that is realized in the conduct of delightful emotional depth of ardent love in the Art. My work not only brings out the inner feelings but also produces an intended result striking on soul.
Based in Trivandrum, Kerala, Babu Xavier is an artist whose canvases are brought alive with vivid colours and fantastic creatures. His brushes paint on full-blooded reds, vibrant yellows and sparkling blues and greens, creating nearly human figures with some sexual undertones in watercolours that seem to radiate light almost like a prism. Babu,never thought he would grow up to be an artist. In his school and early college days, he claims he couldn't even manage a respectable drawing in any of his science journals. It was only when he was in university, and was sitting scribbling on a newspaper in the library one day, that Babu Xavier realized he could and wanted to paint. Still, Xavier decided that art school wasn't the place for him. He didn't want to be restricted by rules and years of learning things he wouldn't want to use anyway. He believed that his inspirations and methods would be affected and restrained by a formal schooling in fine arts. It was only by chance that Babu ran into the famous artist Jayapal Panicker, also from Kerala originally. Panicker left such a lasting impression on Xavier, that he withdrew from college in his final year to join him at the Cholamandal Art Colony in Madras and work under his guidance for a while.When he returned from there, Xavier made a living in Kerala by selling small, photograph-sized canvases. His big break came when a holidaying bank manager bought some of his work and took it back to Mumbai with him. There, the eminent cartoonist Mario Miranda saw the paintings and got in touch with the artist to tell him he should come to Mumbai. Soon Xavier was showing his work at the Pundole Art Gallery, and the response left him quite amazed. The reviews his work received and the amount of them that sold encouraged him to continue painting and exhibiting. Gallery owners didn't hesitate in pledging financial support to this artist, who was soon becoming one of India's most well known contemporary artists. 19 solo shows in India and all over Europe down the line, and being the recipient of several prestigious awards, Xavier is as unassuming an individual anyone could imagine. He spends all day with his family, none of whom are artists, and paints only at night.But when it comes to his work, he is quite firm about his intentions. "I don't make art to decorate houses and match people's walls. There's a lot of contradiction in my paintings, which can be very disturbing. If I talk about sexuality, there's also death on the same canvas. Not everyone will like nor understand my art work; they're not meant to." In his work today, we see, as the artist intends, a deeper meaning. The fantastic figures represent the powerful and lucid ideas Xavier has. Just turning away from his paintings, one glances at the signature, and notices a small set of lines penciled next to it - a barcode. "I draw barcodes on all my paintings.... It reflects contemporary life and shows consumerist trends in 2002, when markets rule our lives."

Bratin Khan graduated from the Viswa Bharati University, Santiniketan. The influence of the Bengal school is apparent in his handling of the line and color. His paintings exude a light that emerges from within. His figures are languid and flow gracefully with the overall schema of the natural world that they inhibit. Khan essentially draws his subjects from the wide base of Indian mythology, religion and folk lore. His eye for details and commendable mastery of line make his style unqiue.Khan has had solo and group shows at the Academy of Fine Arts and Grindlays Bank Art Gallery, Kolkata; Rightlines Art Gallery, Bangalore; Classie Sourie, Mumbai; and Dhoomimal Art Centre, Delhi. In 1992, he won the best painting award from the Indian Society of Oriental Art and Culture. Khan's paintings are in the collection of Sony Electronics, Japan; Sonodyme; and RPG Group India; and other private collections in India, USA, UK, Mauritius, Indonesia and Germany. The artist lives and works in Kolkata.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Buwa Shete is one of the shining new stars on the Indian contemporary art scene. After graduating, he worked with advertising agencies as a creative director and illustrator for several years, while painting simultaneously.
He is described as an artist with a penchant for the feminine form. While the female protagonist is at the focus of most of his canvases, the artist has developed his own style, which has an imprint of his unadulterated rural upbringing juxtaposed with modern urban values that he has imbibed during his stay in a city like Pune. He is unafraid of size & flirts outrageously with color, strong reds and blues are often seen in his work. His contemporary modernist figures are done in rough strong brush strokes; and his style is characterized by contemporary modernist figures, rendered mysterious by his uniquely Indian style.

Dattatraya Thombare, completed his studies at Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune and further did his Diploma in Art Education course from Sir J.J. School of Art ,Mumbai. He is a recipient of various awards included the Maharashtra State Award, Bombay Art Society Award, prize at the South Central Zone, Nagpur. He has also participated in various exhibitions organized by State Art Society (Maharashtra), AIFACS (New Delhi), Chatak Show, Nehru Center Mumbai and The Art Society of India, Art Access - VI. He has also had a solo show at Pradarshak Art Gallery, Mumbai.
His paintings basically deal with nature, its realization and human mind. All these three elements combine reflects the essence of his works. He composes abstract forms and realistic images such that the resultant images can't be categorized figurative but merely representational of the idea, emotion or form. It's a fusion of representation and non-representational concepts. He likes to use figures in a multi-dimensional background, which adds mysterious depth to his works.
The artist quotes " While depicting the world beyond reality it just doesn't become a mere play of imagination. Believing in the facts I comprise the world I experience onto my canvas. I try to express variety of experiences through the combination of mundane affairs, nature and society. The nature of my painting is trinity that is morphing of reality, realization and the mind."

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dilip Choudhury's works depict the Bengali countryside and his hometown Kolkata bathed in the monsoon rains. His black and white works are ever popular though of late he has been dabbling in color. Dilip Chaudhury has been painting various scenes from everyday life of Calcutta & sometimes Banaras, in watercolor. From ancient monuments, streets & ghats, to a rickshaw puller in action, he's captured it all, beautifully. To somebody who has even a remote connection with Calcutta, he manages to bring a wave of nostalgia, as he symbolizes the character of the city of joy in his work.

To say that Fawad Tamkanat's work is narrative is a gross understatement. Throughout his career as an artist, he has strived to develop and then perfect a visual vocabulary that he can use to communicate with his viewers. And this language, that he uses to take on peoples' minds, has nothing to do with society, religion or politics, but, quite blatantly, is all about his own personal fixations. Fixations that include those with time, and one's place in the general scheme of things. Fawad was born in Hyderabad in 1962, to a family that already had artistic inclinations running through its veins. His father was the famous Urdu poet, Shaz Tamkanat. Early in his career, Fawad was invited to participate in an installation workshop in Denmark where he also worked for a few months in the printmaking studios with renowned printmakers. He became very taken up with printmaking, and launched his professional exhibitions showing only monochromatic prints. Now Tamkanat experiments with several different media and surfaces, diversifying to include those like watercolours, acrylic, etching drypoint and tarpaulin in his oeuvre. Fawad has held twelve solo shows in India and abroad to his credit, and has participated in state, national and international exhibitions and group shows at major art centres. He lives and works in Hyderabad.

She is a self taught contemporary artist. Painting has been her passion since childhood. She creates Paintings that are built on her strong aesthetic sense as well as her interest in the changing world of today. She started drawing at the age of three. Her Parents and her uncle Mr.Konada SriHari Rao noticed the zeal for Art and encouraged her to participate in Painting contests from Primary School Level.
She won several painting contests at school level, college level and also at University Level.
Her Paintings are featured in many exhibitions and Art festivals. Some of Paintings are in private collections in India and Abroad. She is also a freelance illustrator for some of the local and online magazines.
She often uses contemporary ideas combined with strong traditional techniques. As a subsistence hunter, she collects the materials for her work from the everyday life she faces and the burning problems in the society. She feels that “Paintings are the unspoken emotions captured on Canvas”.
Coming to her educational background, she received her Masters degree in Computers from Acharya Nagarjuna University, Andhra Pradesh and she is now working as a Senior Software Testing Engineer in an MNC in Hyderabad. She has also done BFA painting and MFA Painting from Karnataka State Open University, Mysore.

Born in Nizampur, Andhra Pradesh
Qualification
After a diploma in drawing and painting from the Government College of Art and Architecture, Hyderabad in 1963 he studied mural painting and printmaking at M.S. University, Baroda (1963-65).
From the beginning finding fascination in erotic subjects, by the late ' 60s he evolved a distinct style in his etchings which portrayed a pan-natural sexuality seen in terms of impulsive, aggressive passions rather than those of fertility. Basing on childhood memories or rural and tribal vivacity with its open, ribald Eros and its immersion in nature, he interpreted it through a sophisticated urban mode in which surreal, libidinal tones mingle with fantasy and poetry. Dramatically deposed and gesturing, his characters reveal an expressionist note whose harshness is tampered by the finely curlicued, linear details and dark palpable textures. This obsession has continued with Goud throughout the subsequent variations in attitude, technique and style. By the late'70s, when he resorted largely to the subtler medium of aquatint his figures softened and became more direct as well as more evocative in their somewhat subdued and psychologised look. The realist ingredient present in the highly and ornately contoured shapes brings in an element of actual appearance of villagers but is steered towards a gentle stylization, which imposes on figures a touch of rustic puppets. All the while Goud has been painting chiefly water colors with single village women and men often with goats, also rural scenes. They are a robust draughtsman's paintings, line based and colored, aesthetic vacillating between a relatively realistic but generalized rendering a supple, expressionist distortion. In 1975 Goud did harshly delicate pencil drawings of junk objects in close-ups, isolate yet bearing an imprint of people who use them. Those were eventually absorbed into the drawings of villagers whose bodies hardened by weather, labour and interaction began to resemble leather- pierced and stitched by metallic jewellery of screws and pins. In the mid 80s, colors entered these images which later for some time veered to playful Pickassoesque and Klee like geometrisations and permeating dislocations of contour to reach a fuller, fleshy plasticity when direct images in landscapes and interior alliterate with hybrid and mythic motifs of human, animal and joint eroticism, the silhouetting stroke being now smoother, simpler and pliant.
Goud lives and works in Hyderabad.
Before Laxman Aelay chose to become a professional artist, he was a signboard painter and then a much sought after and respected designer and illustrator of books. His work was highly thought of within Telegu literary circles, but soon the painter in him compelled Aelay to enroll in college for a degree in Fine Arts, even though he had already received a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Laxman Aelay was born in the Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh in 1964. He received his BA in Painting from the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University College of Fine Arts in Hyderabad, and took up full time freelance painting straight after that. Laxman's paintings are nostalgic, depicting the rural people he grew up amongst. His source of inspiration has been the live of these poverty stricken people from his village - Kadirenigudem. Recently, Aelay switched over from using white, black and shades of gray, which he preferred in his paintings, to using vivid colours to depict flowers, jewellery and traditional clothing. His earlier preference to paint on large sized canvases and papers has also been abandoned, and his latest works are much smaller and compact. Aelay has received international recognition as well as several awards and gold medals for his works. These include an award from the Hyderabad Art Society in 1995. This young and talented artist held his first solo show at the Indian Council of Cultural Relations Art Gallery in Hyderabad in1999. Laxman has participated in several important exhibitions of paintings including 'Contemporary Deccan - A New Generation of Artists,' held in Hyderabad in1999 and the 7th Group show at the Surya Art Gallery, Hyderabad in 2000. He has also represented the country in an international exposition organised by TAANA in Chicago, USA in 1995. Laxman Aelay is presently working as freelance artist, based in Hyderabad.

About the Artist:
Self-taught artist M. Singh, born in 1979, brings the abstract world to life through his colourful brush strokes that creates a mood that oscillates between meditative and exuberant.
He expresses himself through both abstract and figurative works. In his abstract work he feels ideas flow through colour on paper. Different colours used indicate different pictures of life. He uses various colours to explain all possible phases of life.
Figurative paintings help him give shape to ideas and be inventive and expressive while religious paintings are the source of positive energies in his life.
Painting is his meditation; his path to self discovery, He finds silence in the noise of colour and form, tranquility to him is creating a picture.

Artist's words:
I am a contemporary painter by profession, working in the field of art and design for the past 18 years. I belong to Bihar and Bihar belongs to me. My roots are in Madhubani, a district of North Bihar, internationally known for the vivid and vibrant panorama of tradition, embedded in the folk paintings of the Mithila region.
My style
I am best known for my experimentations with the Mithila art forms. I have evolved with a style of my own where the feelings, emotions, elements, intricacies and tradition of Madhubani paintings are merged with current subjects, modern medium and contemporary skill, in a diversified dimension. I have been enormously covered by the media for this specific reason.
My background
My education and training in art, was an early childhood response to the blood that flows in my veins. Initially I practiced the traditional and colloquial techniques. As I matured, I started responding to social actions and contemporarisation. Besides, I graduated in Sanskrit and received professional training in fine arts. I was inspired, both by the intricate simplicity of the folk art which I inherited and the vibrancy of modern masters which I admired as my style ripened. Eventually I developed my style which has a balanced influence of both.
My medium and skill
I prefer working with acrylic on stretched canvass and Paper. Every piece of my work has minute and intricate detailing which reflects the skill and multiple layering/patching on selective areas reflects the understanding of the pallete and mood.
My current involvement
Currently, I am working on the subject ‘hijras’ (unachs) to explore and experiment with their feelings in my work. My present series of work is a result of my explorations since 2003, on this subject. Five such work(Aug-Oct 2006) has been enclosed here as Photographs.
My Collections
My works of art are in collections and displays at various government and corporate organizations like Indian railways, Airport authority, Life insurance corporation of India, Unicef , Indian oil, kalyanpur cement , Allahabad bank, Indian army Danapur and some private collectors in India and abroad. I have some recognitions at State /National level to my credit. I had been continuously presenting my exhibitions at various places.
The other side of me
Apart from this, my achievements in the field of design includes Design and production of garments and accessories for Rohit Bal’s Lakme India fashion week collection 2003 in traditional and experimental Madhubani style. I had introduced the traditional madhubani motifs in painting as well as hand embroidered forms. Later on the designs were used in Production of garments and accessories for the label ‘Balance’ owned by Rohit Bal for one seasonal collection.
I had been one of the nominated members of the State level AHVY recommendation committee in the state of Bihar. Also I have attended a couple of programs organized by O/o DC(H), from time to time. I have conducted Design Development workshops as a designer in Panja Dhurry Craft of Lohardagga(Jharkhand), Art textiles of Jagatsinghpur(Orissa) and Terracotta of Dumka(Jharkhand), under Development Commission of Handicrafts, Min of Textiles schemes.
One of the most rising impressionist artist, MITHU BISWAS is a journey of around 7 years of modern contemporary Art. She is working for an unusual idea, concept, texture and style in her painting. Born in Kolkata in the state of West Bengal in 1979, she was fond of art since early days. She did his graduation in Fine Art from Government College of Art & Craft, Kolkata in 2004. In 2009 she came in Maharastra, and permanently setup a studio in Mumbai.
Mithu is not as like renowned contemporary artist in Mumbai, still a fact now acknowledged by the market, many art curator of modern contemporary art now slowly collect her paintings.

-- -- -- -- ------------------------
As an artist I want to say something about myself-
I do not paint directly from nature or a direct use of a model like most of the academic artists, but my drawing and my painting must explain my own words- I hope so.
?By making numerous oil paintings and with the help of powers of accurate observation, I am able to completely grasp the fundamental meaning of the subject.?
Me - Monami Chowdhury who post graduated from the Rabindra Bharati University (M.V.A.), has consistently
Exhibited in India since 2002 and won many prestigious awards.
There are some pictures of flowers here I represent,
I endow my drawing with depth, resolution and natural feel for colour. The dark and light shades playing with each other, creates the variation in the presence of the flowers.
?Flowers are lovely; love is flower like.
Flower symbolizing feminism.
A thing of beauty gives us joy forever.?
I think my elegant paintings would satisfy all.

Om Swami's paintings are the kind you feel will turn into a Tune - tune of Love, Passion, Compassion ..., One is enamoured by the subtle nuances in the paintings. His paintings have no eyes, etc, for when he paints he does not paint the eyes, he is involved more with the character, dropping simply and directly from his brush to the canvas like the flow from a subconscious mind.
Om swami believes that man and woman are incomplete in themselves, they are framents of a single whole and they become close and healthy only in close togetherness in union with each other and when this happens unconditionally it shall complete the two in an extraordinary and unearthly way_be it union of music, physical, spiritual...
Love symbolizes the overflowing, out_pouring of the primeval energy which is more receptive in the woman and more aggressive in a man as depicted in his painting.
The attraction of man and woman for each other is what brings them together so that their latent energy flows in-to each other in the stream of love and life.
In today's world where the page 3 people are fascinated not by Art buy by the noise made, his works are a welcome relief.

The success of a painting lies in the artist's willingness to deal with each painting on its own terms." A painter, illustrator, tutor and writer, Paritosh Sen has been a part of the world of Indian art, for close to four decades now. Sen's more recognizable works are his caricatures, which reflect strong underlying socio-political shades, and his female nude drawings. His style of representation is influenced by his exposure to Western Modern art, and has traces of cubism. He uses two dimensional, structured planes but still creates an illusion of voluptuousness. His drawings and paintings are noted for their strong lines and bold, stylised strokes. Although colour is an important aspect of his paintings, it is the human figure, expressing a myriad of emotions, that dominates his art. A recurrent subject in Sen's works is his depiction of scenes from everyday urban life. These activities are rendered from a cynical and detached perspective, which is typically Sen's viewpoint. Paritosh Sen has a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chennai. In 1942, he moved to Calcutta, where he and a group of friends formed the Calcutta Group, an association of artists that sought to incorporate contemporary values in Indian art. In 1949, he left for Paris to study further, attending, among other institutes, the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He received a Fellowship for 1970-'71 from the John D. Rockefeller III Fund. A prolific writer, Sen has published many works in both Bengali and in English, including a series of autobiographical vignettes titled 'Jindabahar Lane'. His works have been exhibited in India and internationally, in Paris, London, Germany, Tokyo and in the US. Paritosh Sen lives in Calcutta.

My work is inspired by the everyday; observations of objects,
events , and experiences.Figures dominate the whole thinking process of my paintings with different subjects . May call are basically concerned with human figures , Mythology and religious stories. They are the intimacies and the complexities of life such as emotions, perceptions, ideas, intellect, human conditions and interrelationships. The process allows me to reflect on the essence of the everyday. Through Explorations of these subjects, I intend to suggest a sence of connections by juxtaposing seemingly unrelated objects, marks, and patterns. Ultimately, within the visual vocabulary, I wish to decipher the unknown from the known.

Priya says that most of her works are bought by foreigners who feel that her sketches give them a feel of being inside the temple. Priya captures the interiors and exteriors of the temple in unusual angles. Several of her works have had the privilege of being exhibited in homes and offices in India and abroad. She has sketched many Indian Temples, to name a few - the famous Brahadeeshwar temple at Tanjore, Meenakshi temple in Madurai, Puri Jagannath Temple, Sun Temple at Konark, Temples of khajuraho and Kapaleeshwar temple at Mylapore. She works on site and also captures different angles and sketches from them. Besides temples, she has also sketched the sculptures of Ajantha Ellora Caves, the Mahabalipuram Rock temples, Goan Churches and series on Old Madras. She has worked on all the important monuments of our country and heritage buildings She participated in a group show at Lalit Kala Academy, CP Arts Centre, Adyar Art Gallery and also an exhibition at Udhagamandalam.

Prakash Karmarkar came from an artistic family; his father was a renowned artist of his time. Unfortunately, all of his father's paintings were destroyed in the Hindu Muslim riots in the 1940s, which also ruined his family. By 1949, both his parents had passed away, forcing him to abandon his studies at the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Kolkata. He joined the army for two years and then quit to work as a graphic design manager for a medical firm in Kolkata. Virtually penniless and desperate for a break, in 1956, he held a street exhibition, the first in the city, hanging his works along a corner. In 1957, Karmarkar participated in the national art exhibition held in New Delhi. Here, he received an award for his watercolor. By then, he had also begun holding more street exhibitions, which catapulted him into the limelight. The artist was a close friend of several poets. He would often sit with poet Shakti Chattopadhyay and while the latter wrote his poem, Karmakar would make his painting. Then, they would sell both their works together on street corners. Karmarkar also worked in artist Nirode Mazumdar's studio between 1964 and 67. The artist went on to form a group called the Society of Contemporary Artists in 1962, but within five years of its inception, the group began to disintegrate. By then Karmarkar had received a French Fellowship and he left to study in Paris. As an artist, he is considered a revolutionary in the sense that he doesn't exhibit in art galleries. All through his artistic career he has always exhibited on street corners. He says, "I do not want my paintings to be imprisoned within four walls." Influenced by the works of Picasso and the classic impressionists, Karmarkar's work reflects the degenerating society and the confusion that prevails in India today. Prakash Karmarkar lives and works from Kolkata.

Lyrical and romantic, his work is typical of the Bengal school and reminiscent of Nandalal Bose who was his mentor. "I represent the village in the city" Ramananda Bandyopadhyay is a worthy representative of the Bengal School of Art. He is inspired by the simplicity and uncomplicated lives of the rustics. An admirer of Nandalal Bose he draws unabashedly from the master's work and has modelled his art on the same lines. Lyrical and romantic, Bandyopadhyay's canvases have a radiant innocence that is strongly reminiscent of an earlier era when life had a dignity and graciousness. A very distinct characteristic of Bandyopadhyay's work is the recurrent use of a palette that comprises principally of reds, browns, greens and white. In a career spanning almost four decades, he has consistently employed the same colors. " I owe the three to four colors used in my paintings, exclusively to my mother's addiction to pan (betel leaf). The green of the betel leaf, the lime's white, the catechu's brown and the red of the juice of chewed pan that turned my mother's lips into a pair of pure gems,"says Bandyopadhyay as he explains his predilection for these hues. Mythology is a favourite subject of this artist. Drawing on the ancient and rich cultural heritage of his native state as well as the country, Bandyopadhyay paints the numerous gods and goddesses that people Hinduism and the fascinating tales that abound in the literature of India. This strong bias towards religious subjects is in part attributable to his upbringing. His parents were ardent followers of the religious tenets of the Ramakrishna Mission and the artist himself spent most of his working life as a Director of the Art Museum and Gallery at the Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkata. Not that Bandyopadhyay lives completely in the past and is unobservant of modern day life. In fact, all his canvases are firmly rooted in contemporary style and technique. Many of his paintings depict the humdrum existence of the middle-class in any large city going about their day-to-day activities. He transforms even these mundane subjects into paintings invested with a rare grace and beauty. A blend of tradition and the present-day world gives Bandyopadhyay's canvases the best of both worlds.
Born in Srikalahasti, Andhra Pradesh, in 1979
Education
Ramesh Gorjala studied at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad, where he received his Bachelor’s degree in painting.
Style
His work focuses on traditional Indian heritage and culture, through sensitive and detailed mythological portrayals of various Indian gods and goddesses. Gorjala works with a delicate and intricate technique, portraying his spiritual take on the subjects of Indian mythology. His use of a palette dominated by gold, red and green creates a very rich and natural feel in each of his paintings, and the moods that he is able to create and convey adds an antiquated yet contemporary dynamic to his work. His subjects, mainly the gods, goddesses and mythical forms of the South Asian pantheon, include Hanuman, Vishnu and Buddha, and are all painted with great sensitivity and attention to detail. Gorjala does not necessarily restrict himself to a single, large protagonist in his pieces. Instead, he integrates subjects, mixing not only one figure, but multiple images all unified into a broader character. This is sometimes brought together by fragments of text, usually in the background of his surfaces, adding a new dimension to them. Another repeated element in his work is the checkerboard pattern of black and shades of white and grey in the background, adding a noel and modern twist to pieces that have a largely traditional and spiritual feel.
Awards
Gorjala’s work has won him various awards, including the 2000 Mahatma Gandhi Birth Centenary Memorial Award from the Victoria Technical Institute (V.T.I.), Chennai, and the 2002 State Award from the A.P. Crafts Council.
Exhibitions
The artist has had many solo exhibitions and participated in various group shows in India and abroad. Some of his solo shows include 'Mythological Metaphor' at Chawla Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2010; ‘Embracing Modernity’ at Mon Art Gallerie, Kolkata, in 2007; and earlier ones in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Group shows including his works have been held in Mumbai, New Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, Bangalore and London.

Ramesh Pachpande, born in Maharashtra graduated in 1978 from Sir JJ School of arts.
He has been exhibiting his work at several solo shows and group shows in india and abroad and also been a part of many international camps. Ramesh has been awarded especially for his Indian style and charcoal work. Using charcoal and acrylic as the medium, his work highlights facial expressions and brings to the fore intimacy of human couples and their musical expression. His paintings has a reflection of his rural roots, portray the serene innocence, the charm and purity of the rural folk. The choice of charcoal and acrylic as a medium has been deliberately chosen by him as it best captures the stark simplicity and the emotional relationships between the figures portrayed.
From an art history point of view, prints have long been a highly popular medium of expression. There have been close links between prints and people's lives. Today, as contemporary art is developing towards even greater diversity, their role is bound to become even more important than in the past. Prints are at once intimate and political, public yet private. The role of a printmaker is two-fold. It requires a disciplined exactitude and a sense of aesthetic beauty. It is most important that a print communicates its message clearly and is accessible to everyone.
I have been a printmaker and a painter. For some time now I have been painting and enjoyed it immensely. In fact my printmaking background was an added asset. Painting has been equally helpful in my new series of prints, in encouraging a simpler approach and technique. In today's contemporary art in India vis-a-vis painting or sculpture, prints have been looked down on as a stepchild. Of course, a lot of effort has been made to bring prints into the mainstream of the art world in India, but have not been successful as yet.
One has to make a conscious effort to make the public or art lovers want to own a print, make them understand that it is as relevant and original as a painting itself. A close relationship exists between a printmaker and his prints. The serial nature of prints permits an artist to see and record the development of their ideas, figurative or abstract.
Recently I have returned to prints with a new vigor, with a heightened awareness of size and colour. The contents of these prints are not in any way a diversification of my paintings. They do, however, convey the same concern for human relationships and dialogues.
The series of serigraphs are an extension of the series of glass paintings I had done. The luminosity of painting on glass made me want to experiment with this medium, which is seldom used by artists. There is a misconception that silk-screen cannot be a very creative medium of expression, but to me, any medium is creative if the artist acquires a significant expression within the frame through colour and line and a transparent psyche.

After achieving a BFA from the JJ School of Arts, Saillesh started off as an advertising professional in 2000 at the age of 23, grew to be an Art Director is one of India's leading ad agencies but decided to pursue his dream career – that of art and painting. And in a short span of 4 years, he has garnered admirers from Bollywood, the corporate world, socialites etc.
His unique, multidimensional and highly contemporary work has no preferred surface for ex-pression. Acharekar's art has evolved with time. As an emerging artist, he held his first solo exhibition in 2003 titled the Touchwood series which was art on wood. This was followed by Touchwood 2 in 2004. His next was 'Innovator' wherein he celebrated the spirit of innovation wherein he etched some 'Men of Mettle' using mixed media on metal
His solo Art Show titled "Me v/s Myself " was an artistic manifestation of the internal struggle of the mind – the conscious versus the sub-conscious. It was yet another opus by this young promising artist which is set against a contemporary backdrop of man's struggle with himself. Break free with the beautiful works of art which carry your imagination on their strokes.
Recently Saillesh has delved into the world of cinema wherein his Art skills have been utilized by producers like the Bhatts in their recent release – Raaz and another upcoming project.

Samir Mondal's most amazing contribution to Indian art of modern times is a continual revival of water colour. He has endowed water colours with the status of oils, projecting a facet of water colour that was never visualized before. The artist keenly observed the characteristics of oil-painting, noted the inherent quality of oils, their richness and substance. In his endeavour to include these elements in water colour, he developed textures and structural features as if they are oils. Samir Mondal has stood the test of this fantastic versatility. His water colours have never lost their originality, their innovativeness and their classic elegance, yet they are truly modern paintings. An alumnus of Government College of Arts, Kolkata, Mondal has held 34 solo shows and participated in many important group exhibitions in major cities of India and abroad. Explored major cities of Germany for art study under INDO-FRG Cultural Exchange Programme by DAAD. Participated in many prestigious art auctions conducted by Christies and others. Visited Paris, Germany, Dubai, Mauritius, Australia, Bangkok, Kenya, Israel, Egypt, Russia, Morocco and China. Mondal has received many prestigious Awards including AIFACS, New Delhi, West Bengal State Academy Award (twice), Academy of Fine Arts Award (twice) and A.P. Council of Artists Hyderabad. His works are part of valued collections of National Gallery of Modern Art, Delhi, Museums of Karnataka, RPG Enterprises, Standard Chartered Bank, Tata Steel, Birla group of companies, ICI India Ltd., Benson and Hedges, Morarji Mills, Brooke Bond, Citibank, Ministry of External Affairs, India, Office of Star Plus, DSP Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Solomon Smith Barney India Ltd., MICO India, Bangalore, J P Morgan and many personal collections in India and abroad.
"Picture making in watercolour is an exciting game. Colour becomes my opponent. Every stroke of my brush is countered by colour itself and overwhelms me."
"Over the years, several icons have dominated my consciousness. Typically I started with landscapes. Then stylised figures. And then themes. I'd take one subject and explore it from all angles possible. Always though, the theme was an essential part of my life, a process in which I was personally involved."

Born in Agra in 1969, Samir Sarkar, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kolkata, graduating in 1993. He finds inspiration for his works in the humdrum of commonplace activities. An extremely introspective artist, Sarkar delineates his visual interpretation of the gamut of human relationship on paper or canvas. His works aim to figuratively summarize the fleeting feelings associated with the non-tactile realm of human relationships, feelings and occasions. In his quest to go beneath the veneer of the social conditionings that smother human interaction, the artist is constantly on the lookout for new realities in existence that he can capture with his paintbrush. Samir Sarkar has had several solo shows and has participated in numerous group shows internationally as well as in India. The artist identifies himself as a painter and social worker.

Life without Rhythm, Colour and Theme is meaningless, My quest is to delve into this eternal rhythm and find meanings that give clarity to shapes and form. In that lucid moment I paint my canvases and capture rhythm of colours with meanings. My Paintings are like music set to a beat. Each one of them promises to take a rhythmic colourful small story.

Shankar Ghosh commenced his formal artistic training in 1951, at the Indian Art College and thereafter continued at the Government College of Art & Craft, Calcutta from 1952 to 1957. Noted painters Gopal Ghosh, Dilip Dasgupta and Sculptor Pradosh Dasgupta were amongst teachers who helped shape this formidable talent.
Shankar Ghosh's work has been commended for their aesthetic designs and each creation is imbued with an ethereal quality.
His sculptures are inspired by various facets of his environment, the human form and different types of shapes. The sculptures are usually medium size and very personalized with monumental quality in its forms. He feels his sculptures take him into an imaginary realm, where all the encounters are one to one interactions with these art forms, far beyond the materialistic world and the realities of daily existence. While creating these masterpieces, moulding them, erecting them and placing them on a pedestal what he experiences is sheer exhilaration.
He has held six solo exhibitions. First show was in 1963 in Calcutta then after in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Participated in over fifty group and annual exhibitions at Lalit Kala Academy (Delhi), Academy of Fine Arts (Calcutta), Birla Academy of Art & Culture (Calcutta) and All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society (Delhi) and in many other galleries.
Because of their uniqueness, Shankar Ghosh's sculptures have added stature to the private collection of many an art connoisseur. Quite a few of the sculptures are also on display at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi and Chitrakala Parisad, Bangalore.

A cloud does not know why it moves in such a direction and at such a speed - it feels an impulsion - this is the place to go now.
Impulsion. I guess that is the key word for me today. When I dip a brush in colour and hold it before a sparkling white canvas, I do not really know what my next painting is going to be. I have no pre-determined theme. The canvas leads me on and demands of me new dimensions, shades and shapes. And I obey.
The financial scenario was not very bright then. I could not afford a canvas. So all my works would be black and white drawings, done in charcoal. Camus and Kafka were my favourite authors, so when I could finally buy a canvas, I did the (Metamorphosis) series. That was my first show, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Calcutta.
I gradually entered into the world of colour. I tried my hand at different media - oil, water colour and acrylic. I was moved by my surroundings, the society I lived in.
Even in a world teeming with millions, every man seemed like an island, living his own private, isolated life. In intimate relationships too, people seemed to have woven impenetrable cocoons around themselves. I tried to express this pervading sense of alienation in my works. The colours I used in them were deep shades of brown or mauve or green, the colours of evening or twilight.
The sense of solitude in the works of David Hockney, Kitaj and David Hopper appealed to me. Even though my works have very Indian imagery, and are strikingly different from theirs, mine too, exude the same loneliness. I have been into figurative paintings for the past 20 years or more. Human beings –( I do them angular and never soft and rounded) have been my favorite subject always. Only earlier, like an early Bengali theater, my paintings had no women. They float into my works now. My favorite medium these days is wood. I make drawings on it, burn it, use iron clips to join the parts together - it is a strenuous and complex experiment. The medium is not very popular, mostly because of the weight of each work and transportation difficulties. But I love it because it helps me get out of the monotony of a square canvas.

Shipra Bhattacharya held her first solo show in 1981. Her early work consisted of lifescapes, where she drew inspiration from the world around her. Ordinary people were often the subjects of her work. Women, both urban and rural, found greater representation in her paintings. She employed oil as well as mixed media for expressing herself. The pictures were remarkable in that they had diversely positioned elements designed in extremely complex or simple structures. The sharp colours added to the effect of her work. The drawings done by her around the mid-80's and later were completely different from her earlier work except in their excellent execution. The figures enacted fantasies which were not a part of her earlier work. Shipra's work is made most delightful by her smooth brush work, well chosen, complementary colours and the dreamy look. In less than twenty years, she has become an artist to reckon with.

Born in Kolkata in 1947, Shuvaprasanna completed his graduation from the Indian College of Art (R B University, Kolkata) in 1969. He was an active member of the "Calcutta Painters" group.The city of Kolkata has always figured prominently in his work. His themes come from his personal interactions with its urban milieu - its sickness and sordidness, its violence and vulnerability and all that compounds its existential agony. In the 1960s and 1970s his work was influenced by the turbulence and political violence of Kolkata.Shuvaprasanna has depicted varying moods of the city and its people, its places, and all its facets that make the city distinctive. As he states, 'There isn’t another city like Kolkata anywhere in the world. In the heart of it, I find innumerable themes, subjects.' He doesn't merely portray reality as 'matter of fact' and his presentation of reality often has dream-like elements in it. In terms of technique, Shuvaprasanna boasts a precise, finely executed style that yields an unmistakable visual intensity. He works comfortably in an assortment of media, including oil on canvas, charcoal, and mixed media.Explaining his thought-process and philosophy as a painter, he notes: 'What every creator wishes to achieve is a universal appeal. There should be no language problem while judging the merits of a painting. One should go beyond themes, beyond words. There can be no clear cut definition for feelings, nor should you wish to seek any logical explanation.' Shuvaprasanna's series of paintings, Icons and Illusions, marked a creative breakthrough for the artist in a number of ways. Whereas he had been known in the past as an urban artist with subject matter that reflected the byways, alleyways, birds, and people of his native Kolkata, in Icons and Illusions, he relished more in divinities and flowers. The iconic figures of Krishna, Radha, and Ganesha that found lyrical expression in the Icons series are modern representations and sophisticated idealizations of the same images in the popular media. His work has been exhibited extensively in India and internationally in Bangladesh, Singapore, France, Switzerland, and Germany.

Shymal Mukherjee is an artist who has spent his entire life in Calcutta, only venturing out to attend showings of his works, and only speaking in Bengali. He was born there in 1961, and spent all of his college years in Santiniketan, first completing his BFA in 1987, and then his MFA in 1989 from the Rabindra Bharati University. In Mukherjee's work, we see the Bengal School strong figurative tradition being carried ahead and interpreted in a very contemporary idiom. Mukherjee says he loves to travel alone in new places on buses and trains since, "Most of my inspiration comes from observing people." It's not surprising that every figure in his body of works has a separate and interesting story to tell. Most of the people Mukherjee paints are performers of some type, putting on an act for everyone else - something all of us do everyday of our lives. Mukherjee's figures are dressed in the bright, almost gaudy orange, red and green costumes that street performers wear, but their eyes are gazing and drawn, their faces almost cartoon like and their fingers podgy, making the irony and pathos that surrounds them extremely evident. For one of his recent shows in Mumbai, the artist decided to use beggars and street vendors as the subject of his works, essaying their pitiable condition in his trademark style.The artist also likes to focus on the fact that each individual has a great deal in common with every other one. This is why he paints people in pairs or larger groups, highlighting that though they are physically separate and unlike each other, there is no real difference between their characters and behaviours.Mukherjee's favourite medium is reverse oil or acrylic painting on transparent acrylic sheets, and he swears that although he may change his themes and subjects, inventing new ones for new shows, he will never give up painting in this medium. Although Mukherjee loves to paint, he says he has many other hobbies. He teaches children in his spare time, and says that he learns more from them than they realize. He also collects rural artworks and the crafts of Bengali artisans.

Sibsaday Chaudhury changed his course to that of art after completing B.Com (Hons). He studied Fine Arts under the master painter Prokash Karmakar and now is an acclaimed artist in his own right. His depiction of Women and Krishna are joyous and vibrant. He uses very fine brushwork and subtle outlines in black, which give the figures a three - dimensional effect. His seascapes & landscapes too are infused with a cheerful atmosphere around them, leading one away from the harshness of daily life. There is a certain flow and lyricism in his work, which is very refreshing. Sibsaday has participated in both solo and group shows, which have been received well by art buyers in India and abroad.
Siddharth Shajirao Shingade’s paintings have a stylized quality to them. The artist creates a personal language, populating his surfaces with tall figures that appear to be wrapped in history, with a million stories to tell. His choice of palette resonates the intimate relationship he shares with his homeland, Marathwada in India. The deep browns and golden yellows draw upon the warmth of its climate as well as its people. The mood in his paintings however is somber, perhaps a reflection of the oppression faced by his people and more so the women of Marathwada.
Born in 1983, Shingade completed his Diploma in Painting from the L.S. Raheja School of Art, Mumbai, in 2006 and his Diploma in Art Education from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai in 2007. He held his first solo show ‘Anitya’, presented by Gallery One, at Epicentre, Gurgaon, Haryana, in 2008. His recent group endeavors include those held at Gallery Pradarshak, Mumbai, in 2008; Gallery One, Bangalore, in 2007; Gallery One, Gurgaon, in 2007; Tulika Art Gallery, Mumbai, in 2007, and Veh Art Gallery, Mumbai, also in 2007.

"In a big city, I feel the vibration of an abstraction, and the colors Red, Blue, Brown, Black and Olive Green come alive in a meaningful way."
Born in 1960 at Midnapore in West Bengal, Somenath Maity studied Fine Arts at the College of Visual Arts in Kolkatta under the guidance of the senior and eminent Bengali artist, Shuvaprassana. After obtaining his degree here, Maity went on to receive a diploma in Fine Arts from the Indian College of Arts and Draftsmanship, also in Kolkatta.
Somenath Maity is self-professedly an artist of urban environments and cultures. Called avant-garde and unconventional for his landscapes, this artist’s favourite occupation is to find the inner beauty that exists in every big city and that most people don’t see or bother to look for, and then express it in his abstract oils on canvas. Maity builds up his paintings, all aptly titled "structure", one brush stroke at a time, almost as an architect would work on a blueprint for a building.
Maity’s colors and textures are strong, bringing to the forefront the life of the urban sprawls that he paints, and investing them with a force that works beyond the life of their inhabitants, keeping them ticking no matter who comes or goes, lives or dies.
Recognized today as one of Bengal's important new emerging painters, Maity has already exhibited his works at many major Indian and European galleries. He has won awards and scholarships from most of the major Indian fine art institutions, including the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society, the Birla Academy and the IAAI. With several one-man exhibitions in India and abroad to his credit, including shows in Germany Sweden and the United Kingdom, his paintings also enjoy pride of place in prestigious permanent collections like those of the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Lalit Kala Academy in New Delhi, the Fukuoka Museum in Japan and also in several corporate and private collections all over the world.
Somenath Maity lives and works in Gopalpur, West Bengal.

About My Work
The vastness and grandeur of Indian art and sculpture and its rhythm has created ripples in my mind. My sculptures and paintings centre round the physical and mental faculties of human being along with the certain peculiar traits in some particular times and undoubtedly my ideas and some additions add glory to my sculpture. The forte of my sculpture is to make the sculpture monumental and rhythmic. Moreover, my prime aim is to make my creation traditional as well as universal.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY/ARTIST STAMNTS:
To say something about my paintings, first I remember those immortal lines of the greatest poet Rabindranath Tagore –
…”FRAGMENTS OF FORMS STORED IN THE MIND
COMBINE IN PICTURES AT THE MAGIC TOUCH OF ART”…
I have picked up the canvas to reveal the picture of my heart, my thought, my dream. The world’s life, beauty, smell, touches, sound - everything is my source. You will hardly find any political disturbances or the view of a hungry man with open mouth in my paintings. However, I am inspired by the folk art, Mughal miniature, Ajanta cave art etc. i.e. various kinds of Indian heritage art. The form of my paintings is based on the extract of these things. Traditional Indian art, its concept, the beauty of woman and also the fantasy of Western Art have some impact on my creation. Accordingly, I fill up my canvas with my own style.
Once I have done one work where a girl is making a bird free from its cage into the clear sky. Again in a second painting I have drawn an imprisoned woman seeking to be free; the woman is busy in talking with a free bird. Here I felt that still women in our society are much more neglected, lonely and imprisoned compared to men. This type of thought has a great impression upon me. Probably this is the reason why women and their loneliness are given some preferences in my works. Like this, different subjects at different time have helped me to do different paintings. For example, I have done a series on Ram – Sita, two great Mythological characters. Regarding Lord Krishna, another very important character in Mythology, I have started another series work. There are a variety of features in the character of Lord Krishna, which have helped me to find the idea of my work. We find Krishna sometimes as lover, sometimes as savior, sometimes as protector, sometimes as adviser in the war field. I personally like Krishna as a flute playing boy in the Love phase. This beauty, emotions make me much attracted and charmed. To give the concrete figure to this glorious character of Krishna I have directed my pencil and colors in a variety of manners.
On the other hand, Bird has a special importance in my paintings. I treat bird as the representative of a free and independent life under the sun. I can feel this sensation of life from my childhood. Again, trees, leaves, flowers etc. are the symbols of social bindings – these prove the presence of nature in my paintings. I have just changed the way to represent this nature in my works.
In this way, I have tried to express my feelings, ideas and thoughts with the combination and co-ordination of various colors. Today troubles in human life are growing rapidly, reality is becoming harder, different problems are going to demolish a sweet tensionless life. But we want to come out from this critical situation. To get freed from this tough reality, I can only stretch out my imaginations over the pieces of papers, canvas.

Profile
Born on April 4th, 1974 in Vijayawada, A.P. Stalin's formal art education began and did B.F.A. at S.V. College of Fine Arts, Hyderabad. And went on to do M.F.A from Hyderabad Central University.
Stalin's work is dependent on design fundamentals, form, colour and composition. He believes that the simplest forms evoke complex emotions. He spontaneously begins an art piece and it becomes more detailed as the end product starts to show itself. The process involves layering.
There are no preliminary sketches of what is going to develop. I nurture different forms and shapes in the middle of the process. My colour theory seems to be the most immediate aspect of my work to the viewers very instinctive.
He participated in a number of Art camps and group shows with well known Contemporary artists like T.Vaikuntam, K.Laxma Goud, Jatin Das, Shamshad Hussain, Suhas Roy, Adimoolam, akbar padam sri,Yusuf Arakkal and Sunil Das.
He is also a recipient of many awards like Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi 2002-2003. AIFACS. New Delhi- 2002. Various corporate offices like Satyam, Wipro and Tata consultancy and Taj Group of Hotels and Lalit Kala Academy New Delhi, Hyderabad Central University, Telugu University and Andhra Pradesh Tourism Department have collected some of his paintings.
He lives and works in Hyderabad.

Subhamita's mastery of the feminine from is linked with the seeking of a texturized backdrop to enhance what could be sensuous mysterious, inscrutable and wholly beauteous. Her search for design configuration in textile and their use as a backdrop to her nude study are the challenges that give her work the quality of melded discovery. For, while the texture becomes the base of her expressive universe, her female forms then clamber on to this textile world and merge and subsume themselves in the sumptuous feel of brocade and silk and patterned weaves.
Subhamita likes to paint the human form in its various moods & incarnations. Using the Woman as her protagonist, & sometimes introducing the colour white in its starkness to convey the message of innocence, or purity or simply beauty, she successfully manages to capture the fleeting moods of humanity.

Subrata Pal was born in Kolkata in 1965.
He received his diploma from the Indian College of Arts in Kolkata and his post diploma in painting from Viswabharati in Shantiniketan.He has since participated in several shows all over the country and met with tremendous success.
In the words of the artist - Art & artist are obviously two sides - observe and reverse of the same coin - life minus art is simply appreciated to the half only, so the road to the creativity ends nowhere without an able artist. An artist evolves his own unique way of expression of language through assimilation of education, culture, experience and fineness of taste. An artistic eye always envisions that outline and hue which bubbles up his mind day in and day out.
Our heart creeps back from the hustle-bustle to the dim-lit room where the silence and peace is punctuated with light notes of music and unbends itself off all weariness. After all one's soul voices its protest against the evils and odds whatsoever.
Through the rhythm of forms and lines, colours and textures, my heart looks for the peace wherein the loneliness of solitude mingles a connoisseur soul with deep romanticism.

The dark side of humanity and cruelty is what leads me in my search of the unknown."
Suhas Roy's preoccupation is primarily with the female face and form, and his subjects are romanticised, inhabiting the dreamlike world between sensuality and innocence. His work is usually inspired by life around him, but his themes are as much influenced by the everyday world as they are rooted in fantasy. The vast and complex texture of life is seen as mystical and dark in his work. The mystical flavour of his works arose from his interpretations of the 'unknown'.
It is his craftsmanship and consummate skill that ensure that his richly romantic subjects do not touch extreme syrupy and stereotypical portrayals. Instead, their very patent beauty veers towards melancholic grace and elegance. This graceful portrayal of his subjects has much to do with his choice of materials - his crayons, charcoal and brush have sensitivity and refinement.
Suhas Roy he studied at the Indian College of Arts and Draftsmanship, Calcutta, and under the tutelage of Prof. S.W. Hayter at the Atelier 17 Ecole Superior Des Beaux Arts, Paris. His works have been exhibited all over the world through exhibitions like the Asian Graphic Prints Traveling Exhibition, USA, the Tokyo Print Biennale, Japan, Contemporary Indian Art, Yugoslavia, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungry, and Wounds, at the Central Institute Modern Art, New Delhi, and the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi. Roy lives and works in Santiniketan where he is the head of the Department of Painting at Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan.

Sensitive and full of color, Sujata Achrekar's paintings are a reflection of her mind. She is able to convey the misery and the helplessness of humans trapped by circumstances, from which there is no escape. She works with textural surfaces and strong colors, to create a uniquely compelling style. Broadly, her paintings express an intense urge to understand the relation to her roots. Her work is about the spirit of evolution and progression.
Sujata Achrekar graduated from the Raheja School of Art, Mumbai, in 1992, and later did her diploma in art education from Sir J.J. School of Art. The recipient of Women Research Junior Scholarship from the Government of India, the artist has participated in various group shows apart from select solo shows.
The artist often conveys the helplessness of those trapped by circumstances, with no escape route in sight, as if underlining the fact that pain is an inseparable aspect of human destiny. The works tend to carry a pervasive touch of melancholy. Her creations mostly comprise a single figure, giving an element of individuality to her canvases. She even blends the elements of figures and abstraction, to convey her message.

We paint so that our canvases become paintings. It aspires one day to become Art. Art helps us to touch upon the march of human progress following the course of society, history and civilization; it also reaches out to both the contemporary and the future. Any artist, deep within the process of creation is driven by this desire for attainment. The success of his creation depends upon the fruition of that desire.
Sukanta is a young artist. After finishing his education from Rabindra Bharati University he has been working on his own for the last few years. His works are somewhat unique in terms of style and expertise. They are primarily figurative. Human bodies come up in dreamy moulds: like phantoms of delight and yearning. And all this is executed in a highly personalized idiom.
The eternal feminine form is one of his most cherished and recurrent theme. He can visualize efficiently the backdrop of nature; the supple, exotic vines with their intricate ornamentations and pass it on to relate the body of nature with the human body. Sukanta’s works reflect the working of a romantic and happy mind. The tensions of urban and social life are not for him, nor the existential crises of mankind. One will not find traces of frustration, catastrophes or the distress of the struggle to live in his canvases. At least as of now. His works exude a kind of soft, bewitching charm that attracts the viewers.
The path of creation is long, difficult and beset with seamless challenges. It is full of ups and downs and various kinds of experiences. Taught by life and nature, these experiences are to be continuously honed by the artist in his process of becoming. Sukanta is young, hard-working and imaginative. I sincerely hope that he will move to reach greater heights in his career as an artist and get appreciated by true connoisseurs. I hope the viewers would like this exhibition.
My best wishes to Sukanta...

To prevent myself from producing the same kind of work, I keep altering my vision. From the day people begun to see me as a painter, a huge responsibility fell upon me, particularly to respond to the feelings of the people at the grassroots level who are also my viewer, as also to delve deep into realties of life around me."
One of India's important post-modernist painters, Sunil Das rose to prominence with his drawing of horses. "I must have done 7000 horses between 1950 to 60," he says. "In 1962, I went to Spain, where I was fascinated by the bull fights."
About 60 years of age, he can look back at his nine to ten phases of paintings, all of them marked by supreme skill and a sense of integrity. An indefatigable painter, Das jumped from one style to another easily.
Talking about his art style, he says, "To express my authentic feelings about reality, I have to interpret it, I have conceptualise it. The previous reality gets transformed in the laboratory of minds. Then, I bring it out on the canvas."
Das came from a middle class family and his father was just a small businessman. After completing school, he decided to become a painter and joined a local art school. "I am a good sports man," he says. "I like things which have a lot of rhythm and energy."
He doesn't ever use photographs or models for his painting. "I do a sketch before I start painting. I always struggle with colours and shapes, until they fall to desired pattern. Like a music conductor, I summon all my music instruments to play and orchestrate an aesthetic unit out of various experiences." He does not confine himself to using brush or pen while painting, and often paints with the palms of his hands or with his fingers.
A French art scholarship with the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts took him to Europe. It was in the course of his travels that he chanced to spend a few months in Spain, where he developed his passion for horses and bulls. Das' paintings have also been influenced by his study of sculpture at Santiniketan, Kolkata, and his study of graphic art in Paris. His paintings have a kind of structure and rigidity that one would typically find in sculpture and in the etchings of graphic art.
Das's paintings not only express the physical attributes of his subjects but also their associative ones. Every once in a while he paints human beings, but his depiction of the human anatomy is skewed, to a point that it almost borders on macabre surrealism. For example, his series on women with mysterious, tantalising eyes - all oil on canvas, the portraits convey, in various forms including the erotic, the pressures women are subject to.
Hardly ever painting in loud or warm colors, Das uses soft brown, mauve and white in the background to bring out the drama of life. He blends talent with hard work. He works by suggestion and minimalism. Quite absurd in form, his paintings are morbidly fascinating. "I delve a lot on man's inhumanity to man," he says.
Das has the distinction of being the only Indian artist to have won a National Award (the Shiromani Kala Puraskar) while still an undergraduate at the Government College of Art and Craft, kolkata. Besides having been featured in several exhibitions, his works are also a part of the collections of renowned museums such as the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, the Glenbarra Art Museum, Japan, and the Ludwig Museum, Germany.

"I have never been particular about maintaining a style. I realize that experiences change with time. I accept the new environment, people and also like to adapt new techniques and colors".
Originally from Kerala, T.M. Azis is known to create human figures interacting with the other elements in a painting. Figures or objects performing as symbols spinning around allegories as conceived by the artist. He creates paintings, which reflects; what might be ordinary, everyday occurrences, contemplated by him, where we realize that there is a world different from what one sees – the world that exists in our minds!
It is interesting to note that there are no decisive tactics, no fixed strategies in his work. Azis allows himself to be influenced by places around him and situations that he encounters.
The paintings do not project a grand décor, and yet, even with its simplicity there is a certain magic and lightness about it. The different conversations performed by figures with the ‘designs’ lines or concentric circles in the paintings pleasantly create subtle movements on the surface reciting a visual rhythm to the viewer.
Sometimes the paintings are constructed using bright colors and sometimes not so contrasting colors, which plainly have strong individual personas expressing a subtle theater of visual form.
A graduate in painting from the Trivandrum Art College, he went further on to study at the Jamia Mila Islamia University in Delhi. He had his first show in the late 80’s and since then has held a number of solo exhibitions. He has also participated in several group shows in Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi and been a part of numerous camps held across the country.
Azis at present lives and works in Bangalore.

Tanuj Sardar is a young painter, born 1980. He is self-taught in the field of art. Rather it may be said he has learnt out of his own endeavor through his observation of nature and life without any institutional training. This has helped him to be free in expression without following any set norm of art practice. He is a graduate in general stream of education and now has taken up painting as his primary vocation. He has participated in some important group exposures and earned appreciation.
His paintings, which are done mostly in acrylic on canvas, besides other mediums, are inspired by nature. He takes human being as part of nature, and feminine beauty as its highest expression. He places this beauty in his paintings against other elements of nature, flowers, creepers or some docile lyrical creatures and sets a mute dialogue between them. Through this dialogue he tries to extract the intrinsic meditative beauty that the nature contains and constructs it irrespective of the naturalness of nature. In this sense he creates a separate nature infusing the essences of the visible nature and heightening it towards an aesthetic contemplation. His figurations are mostly in profile, which enhances decorative elements in his execution and creates a separate vibration coming out of the so-called mundane reality. He uses jubilant chromatic exposures but defuses that jubilance through inclusion of some darker shades. This duality or interaction between bright and dark, along with introduction of some dramatic conflict to some extent romantic in nature, helps him to generate a kind of classical sobriety.
Decorativeness is an essential element of folk and tribal art. High art, despite its stress on some essential revealing content, delectable or otherwise, very often resorts to this decorative element to infuse a kind of liminal space within the observed reality. Reality is thus gets transcended towards a divine super reality. Some of the artists of our neo-Indian school have made very successful use of this decorativeness. The succeeding generations of our modernity have also utilized this tradition. The paintings of Tanuj Sardar have some subtle link with folk as well as neo-Indian sensibility. Taking cue from these traditions he extends his forms towards contemporary modernity, where he has tried to create a kind of transcendental inward meditative beauty, which arising from ground reality exposes a liminal space to traverse beyond it. His search is for an idealized beauty based on life and nature. Till now there is some sentimental exuberance in his execution, which he is sure to overcome through sustained practice and continuous attachment with art and life.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tapas Sardar, the young and talented painter from Kolkata, acquired a strong base in academic naturalistic style through his art education at Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata. He completed his B.V.A and M.V.A from the same institution in 1997 and 2001. Since then he has been working in full vigor and with sincere commitment to the temporal reality and aesthetic values and has earned several accolades and honors from various institutions in recognition to his artistic achievements.
Though proficient in academicism the beauty and originality of Sardar’s paintings rest on how he transcends the bounds of naturalism and induces a kind of meditative inwardness to extract the inner essence of the consciousness and personal traits of the characters he depicts. These characters are mostly women coming out of urban or rural ambience of the land, whose tryst with this life is always replete with various layers of light and darkness. Sardar tries to unmask that darkened zone. He has, therefore, to resort to the expressionist verve and amalgamate it with his naturalistic modes. The expressionistic structures intrude surreptitiously specially through chromatic arrangements into the general design of naturalism and bestow a kind of mystic serenity in the total environment. In this mysticism his paintings often reflect a kind of meditative inwardness. This empathic tranquility is an engrossing feature of his canvases, which unveils the inner reality of the feminine world through chromatic harmony and sharp linear structures. Transcendence of naturalism towards a deeper expressionistic value is the essence of his works, wherein lies his contribution in contemporary field of creativity.

Born in Maharashtra, Umakant Kanade completed his art education from the Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune in 1990. Working primarily in ink on canvas, Kanade’s paintings usually depict elements of nature in their most bare and basic forms. The artist painfully labours to bring out the texture of each rock or bird that he portrays through minute strokes. Speaking about his work, he says “I have tried to explain a concept through these drawings. When I look at stone, I think of tolerance, its patience, its strength to be able to bear the storms. I think even stones depict sensitivity, and are part of life, seeing the colorful world in black and white. Observing tones and colours and then converting them into black and white is a difficult task.”
The artist has had several solo exhibitions, including six in the year 2008 at Art 2 Day Gallery and J Studio Art Gallery in Pune; Shree Rang Art Gallery and Delhi Art Gallery in New Delhi; Samsara Art Gallery in Mumbai; and Creative Art Gallery in Dubai. He has also had shows at Crimson Art Gallery, in Bangalore; and Bal Gandharava Kala Dalan in Pune. Kanade’s work has been featured as a part of group shows at Virgo Art Gallery in Patna; and the Chitari Academy of Fine Arts in Pune.

Born in Mumbai. Government Diploma in Art (drawing & painting)in 1977. He unravels the mystery of this holy city of Benaras. Over the years Shirwadkar has established himself as a distinguished landscape artist. His images are deceptively simple yet they convey waves of tranquility and alternate beauty.There are elaborate details in his paintings. He paints from his memory after he has undertaken the trip. Using earthy colours with a palette knife and shaving blade. He gives a three dimensional effect to his painting.
There is an anguished being, disturbed, and in distress, somewhere deep inside me; a human being who yearns for a meaningful existence. It is the human presence that arouses my attention and stirs my creative inner space."
Yusuf Arakkal's early paintings were studies in abstract of the lives of the city dwellers. He used a profusion of bright colours to depict their situation. Later, his growing concern with social issues began to be reflected in his paintings. Arakkal, through his art, depicts the everyday life of the dispossessed, in urban areas - their poverty, helplessness, dismal living conditions and their stoicism in the face of tragedy.
In keeping with his partiality for somber shades, Arakkal employs earthy shades with an occasional dab of yellow or crimson. He concentrates on the texture of his canvases and gives them a grainy, rough surface, reminiscent of timeworn, peeling, cracked walls. Several of Arakkal's canvases focus on a solitary human in various poses. "The face, whether it is of a man or a woman, is mine, an observer, and alone. I have been painting this character for 20 years. I'm not bald, I'm not a woman, but I'm sure it's me".
He has held over 38 shows in Bangalore, Madras, Hyderabad, Calcutta, Mumbai and New Delhi. Internationally he has shown his works in London, France, New York, Honk Kong and Singapore. He received the Lalit Kala Akademi Award in 1979 and in 1981, the Shiromani Kala Puruskar from the Government of India, in 1983, and the award of the Third Asian Art Biennale, Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1986. He currently lives and works in Bangalore.
