Online exhibit launched on Chinese New Year, February 19, 2007
BIOGRAPHY:
I was fond of painting from
childhood. I joined Kalabhavan (Fine Arts College) at Tagore's university at
Santiniketan in 1951 but after some time I was shifted to graduate school due to
family compulsions. At Santiniketan, first as a student and then as a
schoolteacher, I was actively engaged in painting and sculpture as a part-time
student of the College of Fine Arts. I entered a long academic career and lost
touch with art.
STATEMENT:
Towards
the end of my professional career I was attracted to digital medium. Between
1992 and 1995 I played with elementary graphic software. These were largely
line-based drawings filled with uniform shades of color. From 1996 onward I
started seriously creating compositions - first largely in the mould of
conventional fine art akin to Bengal School. Gradually I have improved and
diversified my digital repertoire. Since 2K I lean heavily on original abstract
digital compositions in Painter without scanned images and then rework them
Photopaint. I believe spirit of art is more important than medium or physical
form. Internet is very powerful, more democratic, and universal platform for all
art, more so for digital art.
