Jagannath Paul is representative of the talented new breed of artists

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."
