Artist: Sandip Sen |
Sandip Sen completed
his BFA in painting from Kala Bhavana Santiniketan and pursued his MFA from
college of Art and design, bardhawan Sandip Sen is from Jalpaiguri , West
Bengal, India.
Incorporating Kalighat
Pata Painting style and themes notably Sexuality has been shown symbolically
through objects. Such as balloon, Kettle orchid, leaves and sperms.
Further elements such
as snake socks, grass, monkey cap, hand gestures, Electric plug, Nude female
figures and copulating animals have also been assimilated in the intellectual
paintings.
The idea of drawing
has many complex processes in the initial stages, where not only drawing and
painting but also thoughts are given a significant value. What the artist
visually studies is then transferred to actual works incorporated with colour
and attempt to present it in a conceptualized line. These paintings are
anchored with pen, charcoal, ink, pastel, water colour, oil colour etc. These
forms not only identify realism but also create another dimension.

Line charges a crucial
impact in Sen’s works, where it not only displays a celerity of his thoughts
but also connects objects being laid on the sheets.
Black, red, pink,
orange, green colors began to dominate the painting in a symbolic way. Next
comes the use of gold, silver and fluorescent colors. At the same time small
particles are observed, sensuousness, eroticism, clippings of ads, human
figures, and antiquities are imposed more practically. 19th century popular
folk culture of kalighat patta, wood block etc. can be observed in his work
that are indulged with contemporary hoardings in cities that started producing
college works explaining his thoughts.
Artist says, “my art is to talk about sensuality. “More to say that sexuality doesn’t mean nudity or vice-versa and nudity doesn’t demand only representation of the bare body. Sexuality is a feeling. It has no visuals but it is a visual language. Visual art starts with nudity because it is the first stage of sexuality.
From the beginning of
his youth, the artist began to notice the pubic sign that changed his genitals,
growth of pubic hair, and the beard, hair in armpit and abdomen and changes in
hormones. The idea of sex gave him a completely different languages from where
some biological changes became the subject or his work.
To enrich the visual
language he used multiple layers including the digital on graphic quality at
some place, to bring about theatrical effect in the picture cutouts are
applied. He has started to use quotations from sexually related books.

Sen’s works not only
examine the inner desires of humans but also give them a unique look by
combining various figures and forms that indirectly are related to the themes.
His bold use of colors and subjects continuously attracts human consciousness while making our minds contemplate human biological developments.

respect we exhibit Sandip Sen's art works.
