The journey of Indian Art from Bengal School to Contemporary is marked by an evolution of ideas, approach, and attempt to challenge the nature of art work itself. Arguably considered as the art of today, contemporary art does have its own approach or style that tells it apart from others. This is where the works of Painter Animesh Biswas deserve a special mention.
A cursory glance at his varied works gives us a figment of his world of imagination. Soft line, simple composition and decorative textures with striking human characters define this artistic sensibility. The use of contrasting colours like red and blue or orange and violet strengthen the effect when placed together. What is more fascinating about his painting is the dexterous use of a typical treatment in background and the satin like effect on attire of the characters. The vibrant use of red in his painting lends a character to his aesthetic sensibility.
One of his paintings “Rendezvous IV” explores the abiding relationship between men and women. In “Symphony”, he seems to capture the similar essence of “Dream Flower”. The woman is standing in a composed manner, calm and pure. With blurred characters on the background symbolising love, the lady with flowers in her hand stands uptight, establishing her presence. With advanced connectivity, now you can easily find such Indian painting online.
In “Melodious” Biswas strives to capture the mood of Sri Krishna, completely immersed in the flute recital. In short, his canvas is the celebration of modest colors. In “Rendezvous I and II”, the highlighted use of yellow on the face of the characters seem to celebrate the riot of colors.
His paintings explore the typical man-woman relationship, and his inspirations are eclectic. The rich use of colors and textures of his painting finds a parallel with that of Tagore, Nandalal Basu, Jamini Roy, Ramananda Bandhapadhyay and Van Gough. Now explore his paintings on Indian art gallery online.
“My realizations about man-woman relationships have deepened and I try to bring these realizations into my canvas. My attachment can reach such levels that even while going to bed at night I sometimes have the irresistible urge to go back and work some more on my painting,” he revealed in an interview.
