A painter, illustrator, tutor and writer, Sen’s more recognizable works are his caricatures, which reflect strong underlying socio-political shades, and his female nude drawings. His style of representation is influenced by his exposure to Western modern art, and has traces of cubism. He uses two dimensional, structured planes but still creates an illusion of voluptuousness. His drawings and paintings are noted for their strong lines and bold, stylised strokes.

From the 1980s onwards, Subramanyan’s expanded artistic vocabulary grew to incorporate elements from a popular bazaar tradition of glass painting. According to R Siva Kumar, “Subramanyan’s late works were provoking and celebratory, teasing and subversive, humane and irreverent at once. Done with scintillating spontaneity, they were not merely expressive and complex like most things he had done in the past but were also some of his most vibrant paintings. 

Jogen Chowdhury is known for his ability to successfully marry traditional imagery with the zeitgeist of contemporary painting, in a skillful blend of an urbane self-awareness and a highly localized Bengali influence. His early works show an attention to figuration that carries through in his current pieces. In an interview, Chowdhury commented that, in his early works, “the space projected a simple iconic presence.

Somnath Hore was born in a village called Barama in Chittagong in present-day Bangladesh in 1921. While he was still very young, he started making posters for the Communist party. It was with the help of the leader of this party that he was admitted into the Government College of Art & Craft.

Raja Ravi Varma was an Indian painter and artist. He is considered among the greatest painters in the history of Indian art. His works are one of the best examples of the fusion of European academic art with a purely Indian sensibility and iconography. Additionally, he was notable for making affordable lithographs of his paintings available to the public, which greatly enhanced his reach and influence as a painter and public figure. His lithographs increased the involvement of common people with fine arts and defined artistic tastes among common people. Furthermore, his religious depictions of Hindu deities and works from Indian epic poetry and Puranas have received profound acclaim. He was part of the royal family of erstwhile Parappanad, Malappuram district.

ABOUT EMBELLISHED OLEOGRAPHS

It was in the 19th century that artist Raja Ravi Varma, to make art accessible to everyone – even the middle class, started making oleographs; a print made with oil paint that makes the painting look like an oil painting.

The popular images of goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswati that most of us have grown up with were created by Raja Ravi Verma (1848-1906). What he also did was take art beyond the boundaries of palaces in the early 19th century to the drawing rooms and puja rooms of homes through his oleographs.

An oleograph is a print made with oil paint, and is made to look like an oil painting. Verma popularized this technique through his printing press in Mumbai (then Bombay), which he set up in 1892 to produce high-quality prints of his paintings. In the early 20th century, some oleographs made their way to Burma, where they were further embellished with embroidery and zardosi. The pieces with the zari work are the real collectibles. The women of that period often used these works as a reference to find the color combinations in vogue. Each zari piece is unique as they cannot be exactly the same.

The pieces are self-explanatory. The use of fabric is very unique – it resonates with the aesthetic of those times and reflects on the fashion trends of that era.

This collection presents a rare opportunity for connoisseurs and collectors to see a rare collection of these zari work oleographs.

Pichwai

Pichhwai (also pichwai, pichhavai, pichhvai, pechhavai etc), literally meaning ‘that which hangs from the back’ from the Sanskrit words “Pichh” means back and “wais” means hanging, are large devotional Hindu painted pictures, normally on cloth, which portray Krishna. They are mainly made to hang in Hindu temples of the Pushtimarg devotional tradition, especially the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, built around 1672. They are hung behind the idol of Shrinathji, a local form of Krishna and the centre of Pushtimarg worship, to depict his leelas. Aurangabad was another area associated with them.The purpose of pichhwais, other than artistic appeal, is to narrate tales of Krishna to the illiterate. Temples have sets with different images, which are changed according to the calendar of festivals celebrating the deity 

Nathdwara painting covers these and similar works in other genres, especially Indian miniature paintings. Like the Pushtimarg tradition, they originated in the Deccan, but are now mainly associated with Western India.

M.F. Husain was an Indian painter best known for his brightly colored works depicting horses, urban landscapes. Born Maqbool Fida Husain on September 17, 1915 in Pandharpuer, India, to a secular Muslim family, he studied calligraphy before moving to Mumbai where he worked painting cinema posters and designing toys. In 1953, Husain went to Europe for the first time where he saw the works of Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Henri Matisse.

The technique and art practices he acquired from his father without going through any academic routine. Indra Dugar considered Santiniketan his alma-mater, and drew his inspiration from the art of Nandalal Bose.
Perhaps the absence of academic programming gave Dugar’s art a rare individuality that distinguished him from other artists of Kala Bhavana. Dugar soon outgrew the Bengal School mannerisms, invariably visiting places to paint ‘on the spot’ observed views of nature and life. While progressively reducing the naturalistic details in his paintings, Indra Dugar instinctively retained colour harmony for expressing serenity in nature.

Known widely for his highly stylized portraits of Bengali women and couples, Lalu Prasad Shaw’s works lay the most emphasis on his subject’s physical characteristics. Capturing the expressions of his subjects perfectly with the greatest economy of line and colour each of Shaw’s paintings has an intimate feel to it.

Besides a debilitating knee injury in his childhood created a sense of isolation in the artist, which also finds expression in his canvas. He says what saved him from sheer madness was his talent in art. In 1949, he joined the Vidyasagar College of Art in Kolkata. At that time, a festival of French artists was being held in the city. It exposed him to the works of French modernist artists.

He is one of the biggest and the most enduring names in the genre of Indian Modern Art. Often dubbed the father of female figurative forms. Consequently, his body of works, “Drops of Silence”, executed in oil, pastels and pen-and-ink etchings on backdrops in watercolours, are all studies of “sad, slightly surreal nude women floating in a void”.

Shuvaprasanna’s Golden Flute considered as Krishna. It is not difficult to see what the sources of his image are, but those are primarily in the area of iconography. The Lord is rendered naturally in blue, dark as a cloud, like he is in countless paintings from the past, whether Rajasthani or Pahari. The tilak mark that adorns his forehead is, again, naturally vertical urdhvapundra for that is what Vaishnavas wear. What he carries in his hands is no weapon or other ayudha, but a bansuri flute; around his loins is the brilliant yellow garment, the pita vastra, that glistens against his dark skin; surrounding him, or at play around, are either peacocks with the feathers of whose tails he decorates his crown the Lords legs, in part to turn his neck upwards to listen to the flute and in part to offer himself as his vahana vehicle. There is an unearthly air about all this, these constructs and abstractions. The remarkable thing, however, is that for the viewer there is no loss of feeling, perhaps even of reverence. It is a different kind of lila that he is being invited to witness.

ILLUISION Its gloom, daily struggles and cultural ethos continued to be depicted evocatively in graphic prints and other work of the 1970s and 1980s that includes Illusion, Abode and Lament. Expressions of dismay overlaid with a touch of hope in the culture and squalour of Calcutta, the citys survival instinct despite its decay, is featured through a fusion of symbols and images.

Born in 1949 in Patiala, India, Gurcharan Singh is an acclaimed Indian painter, known for his figurative paintings. He studied at Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chandigarh. His signature paintings are based on people from a financially compromising class, specifically focusing on underprivileged and exploited women. The Red Light in Black and White and Les Miserables are two of his notable works. His works have been displayed at various solo shows and group exhibitions in India and abroad.

The Red Light in Black and White is one of his earliest paintings. These works consist of a plethora of colours, ranging from red to green to shocking pinks, present in abundance. Yet Singh saw nothing but a deep, dark abyss down which men and women were sliding, with reckless abandon. A journey into a colorful hell; one from which he emerged to paint furiously, translating his sorrow and despair into images that haunt the mind.

He is widely considered one of India’s leading painters in the modern realistic tradition. The strength of his lines and the life-like quality of his figures are features that have contributed to his enormous popularity and success. Subrata’s artistic vision is informed by swirling colors, a sense of movement and a vivid array of color. The characters are in oil and acrylic canvases, come alive in all of their colorful glory.

Partha Pratim Deb ( B 1943) is one of the most experimental and well lauded senior artists of India. He expresses his art through many different medium including small abstract vignettes scratched out postcards, large bas-relief assemblages on board, oil on canvas paintings as well as delicate yet powerful ink on paper works. For example a single line, straight and horizontal, can become the horizon, the hull of a boat, the division of two dimensional space or a roof top. Similarly twenty or more, streaming in parallel across a page, can create a flag, shimmering water or a rolling hill. These elements make his work instantly recognizable and extremely engaging.

Amit Khalla believes, painting is a thoughtful and humble commencement for to understand the crux of visual artistic journey along with the considerate subject which moves in between the language of form and formlessness.
In his works there is an effort to create impact in a whole and enriching the way, through transitional engagement in the painting, probably which leads to the whole process to a higher level of consciousness where time, space and environment has its impetus role which is undoubtedly realized.
