Sunil Das | Bull | Mixed Media on Paper | 30 x 22 inches | 2007
This powerful mixed media work by Sunil Das, one of India’s most iconic modern artists, best known for his dynamic portrayals of horses and bulls.
In this 2007 artwork titled “Bull”, Sunil Das captures the raw energy and primal strength of the animal through bold brushwork and expressive lines. The bull dominates the composition with its muscular form and intense gaze, rendered in deep blacks and textured shades. The abstract elements — such as the red arrow, scratched lines, and gestural strokes — heighten the tension and emotion in the piece. The overall treatment gives the bull an almost mythic presence, a frequent theme in Das’s exploration of vitality and struggle.
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.
