Widely known as one of India’s leading painters in the modern realistic tradition, his artistic vision is informed by a vivid array of swirling colors and a sense of rhythmic movement (external and internal). These characteristics are abundant in a series that he has done on Indian dances. In these oil and acrylic canvases, the dancers come alive in all of their colorful glory, the swirl of their ghagras leading the rhythm of their feet.

The artist lives and works in Kolkata.
