Sunil Das, Chinese Man, Mixed Media on Paper, 11 x 11 inches, 2005
Created in 2005 during his travels through China, this mixed media work on paper highlights Sunil Das’s extraordinary ability to fuse intense energy
with structured calligraphy. The piece features a central silhouette overlaid with rich golden motifs, framed by dynamic swirls of crimson red and spontaneous ink brushwork. The integration of Chinese characters alongside his signature ink gestures creates a cross-cultural dialogue, capturing the raw, tactile spontaneity that defines Das’s acclaimed body of work.

Sunil Das is undoubtedly a multi-dimensional artist known for his furiously experimental and enterprising style. Born in 1939 in Calcutta, India, he studied at the Govt College of Art & Craft in Calcutta. On a scholarship from the French Government, he studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The artist has painted across several oeuvres, each one distinctive and to which he brought his singular version. Not confining himself to using brush & pen while painting (even using the palms of his hands or his fingers) his paintings not only express the physical attributes of his subjects but also their associative ones. It was in the course of his travels that he chanced to spend a few months in Spain, where he developed his passion for horses and bulls.
The artist has won many medals and awards, including from the state government and the Lalit Kala Akademi. He has also been a part of juries and art bodies in India, France & Brazil. In 2014, he was conferred with the Padma Shri Award by the Government of India.
The artist passed away in 2015.
