In those days, I was very young. My parent always said that “don’t waste TIME”. But, I couldn’t understand the meaning of that. I wanted to be like, what I was, even I usually did, what I liked to do more of… Now, I realize that the importance of the TIME in our life… The TIME can’t wait for you… It’s always changing the law of universe … In my painting I try to represent the value of TIME in our life… That’s the way, I come up with the series of canvas “CHASING THE TIME” … In this context, I fund the HORSE was always used as a symbol to chasing the TIME. Here in my canvas, I try to build the relations between HORSE & TIME… The habit is, we always try to stop the TIME, but we can’t, even we never ever will do that… The TIME takes extremely important role in our life.

Nawal Kishore brings to his audience the enigmatic female form and presents it with great sophistication, lucidity and sensuality. His women are curvaceous, vibrant and immersed in a world of their own. The singular female forms in his works take centre stage drawing the viewer into a myriad of feelings, expressions, colours, moods and rasas. The strength of Nawal Kishore’s images lies not just in the perfect use of colour on the figures but also of his ability to create a lighting effect around his figures surprisingly through the use of colours such as grey. Nawal Kishore has quite mastered the technique of using grey to add light and depth to his works. One needs to see it to believe it. His figures also draw strength and character from his use of cubism. The introduction of cubism may sometimes come across asalmost sudden but the never does the artist allow it to consume the adorable curves of his muse, the woman. The effect he achieves can only be called profound ...

The struggle of my early life made me learn to enjoy the pain of separation, which has given me a new birth as a painter and painting is my satisfaction. My painting reflects the love which I always searched for. My canvas becomes my language while I paint my story. The medium Acrylic is my favorite and I paint most of my paintings with it.

Amit was born in Hooghly Chinsurah (West Bengal) in 1973. Even as a child his first love was art. It was the primary objective of his life. His notebooks at school were invariably filled with sketches and paintings. The scintillating, pristine, rustic beauty of rural Bengal inspired him to take 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 inspired him. At the age of sixteen while at the Calcutta Govt. Art College, Amit was blessed with the guidance of Shri Paresh Das, a noted artist and gold medalist. Subsequently he gained further insights into art under the famous Subal Jana and Niloy Ghosh, who together enriched his style. He was also inspired by Bikash Bhattacharya and Suhas Roy during his initial period.  Amit speaks o...

Our team met with Kishore Pratim Biswas at his studio at Mira Road East, having a great experience of Nostalgia of Indian Steam Locomotive which is a series of painting by kishore. Kishore share his experience with the Steam Locomotives; That time, Kishore was around 5 to 6 years old. He lived in a place where the locomotives travel around. And he was always running out to watch them and loved to sketch them. This was Kishore's old memory of childhood. He try to recall that and translate into the canvas. That is how the series of " NOSTALGIA OF STEAM LOCOMOTIVES" has come up... Presently there is no Steam Locomotive around us. You might be seen in the museum or other places as antic. My idea is to percent those locomotives to the new generation through this exhibition. This is a Nostalgia of YOU & KISHORE…

Prakash Bal Joshi  Curator Milind Sathe will present Prakash Bal Joshi\'s art works related with environment changes depicted in unique style. The event will coincide with the World Environment Day Paintings, ink-drawings and sketches by Prakash Bal Joshi, a Mumbai (India)-based artist, reflect a recurring theme—the transient nature of life and the Nature itself.    His ink or pen-on- paper sketches and drawings portray massive changes in the urban landscape brought on by development that reflect two self-contradictory movements—rise in material comforts and fall in values. Some of   them show in subdued hues human emotions like love and disillusionment while a few others simply convey the complications of human mind through a series of mazes.    Using oil on canvas, Joshi’s powerful brush strokes bring alive through abstract forms the subtle realities that lie behind the outer look of different objects like b...

Nishant Dange’s charcoal and acrylic painting  Nishant Dange’s charcoal and acrylic paintings are an ode to the ethereal female form in all its natural beauty and elegance. Dange's bold and discerning figures fuse with intricate butterflies and birds. Using dark charcoal, the artist adds drama to the moment, striking a contrast with bold primary colours.   Artist Nishant Dange was a gold medalist in his art college in Nagpur. The man loves to work in one of the most challenging mediums — charcoal. Nishant says, “Charcoal is my favourite medium. It is very simple and also powerful and strong.  It is also an extremely challenging medium because it is just one black stick that one is working with and there are no other colours. It has its own limitations, but to be able to create something beautiful out of that is extremely satisfying.”

Jagannath Paul is representative of the talented new breed of artists from Kolkata. Choosing charcoal and acrylics as his medium, Jagannath fuses contemporary subjects with the force of his natural strokes in black. His style is at once evocative and elegant.  In the artist's words, "My relationship with the world and my perception of nature, the human beings with their emotions and their expressions of daily life, repeatedly appear in my paintings. I like Charcoal medium, because black is the most important colour eventhough itself it is not a colour, but has a beauty. As nobody will understand the pleasure of fullmoon night without black sky."
