Tapas Ghosal in the present series of his paintings creates meditative structural spaces, melancholic in nature. He has a contemplative mind, which enters into the inner realm of reality, dissects it and extracts a kind of mystic silence impregnated with mysterious melody containing the quintessence of remote past. The silence is transmuted into conglomeration of various structural forms. These fragmented structures are then composed to form a unified whole reverberating the mystic past of a present city; or rather ensuing a contradiction between the past and the present. Mostly that city is Benaras. To him the architecture of Banaras is not only a point of departure, it is a continuous source of spiritual contemplation.
