PAINTER

Bimal Dasgupta

" Dasgupta's paintings are a sublimation of his visual experience, transmitting the power that commands the seas, the sky, the wood, the green grass, or the stark ridges."

Bimal Dasgupta was born in 1917. His student years were spent Behrampur. He joined the Government Art School Calcutta in 1937 as a student but could not complete the six year course due to financial restrictions. He moved to Delhi and started working as a commercial artist. Later he taught at the Delhi Art College and pursued his painting passion on his own.

Artist Biodata

The Lalit Kala Akademi conferred a National Award on him in 1956 and a fellowship in 1989. In 1961 he was given a Government scholarship for a six month stay in Europe. Dasgupta's paintings are a sublimation of his visual experience, transmitting the power that commands the seas, the sky, the wood, the green grass, or the stark ridges. In each of his works is a juxtaposition of the horizontal and the vertical, a consummate artistry manifest. Irrespective of its external identity. The artist's dexterity converts mass into transparency, prosaic idols into poetry. The most remarkable aspect of his art is that it reflects the true Indian ethos, one strong enough to assimilate tradition and modernity. His works are not only collected by many international and national collectors but also some of the prestigious museums, government organisation and famous corporate collections.
