Sunil Das | Horse | Ink on Paper | 11 x 14 inches | 2011
This 2011 ink on paper drawing by Sunil Das, titled Horse, is a dynamic yet minimalistic expression of the artist’s lifelong fascination with the equine form. Using confident, spontaneous black strokes, Das merges human and horse anatomy into a single, fluid composition—emphasizing motion, tension, and sensuality. The figure, bent and crouched, exudes both strength and vulnerability. The horse’s head, superimposed over a stylized human body, evokes themes of power, freedom, and primal instinct—central motifs in Das’s oeuvre. Stripped of detail yet bursting with energy, this work captures the artist’s masterful economy of line and emotional immediacy, revealing how deeply he understood his subject.
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.
