Oil on Canvas
Inclusive of shipment in ready to hang form.
Hence the major motifs in his drawings and paintings are naked human bodies, male or
female, or their dismembered limbs or portrait heads, bloody and battered, on an abstract backdrop. In the paintings, titled, Confrontaion, Sunil builds up this backdrop with white-upon-white paints, fretted with penciled or brushed-in graffiti, straight lines and dashes, sometimes with arrowheads or a focusing circle which animate the lone, aged male or female figures. The distraught character, a tormented soul, may suggest different things to different viewers but always something of solemn existential significance. Sunil's concept of the world environment which man inhabits today embraces the totality of the human plight what he encounters within himself and in the world outside in his constant battle to cope with existential forces at all levels, spiritual and worldly, intellectual and physical as well as social and political. It is for this that Sunil was christened by a critic
as, 'a philosopher with no message'.
Sunil Das (1939-2015) was a Master Modern Indian Artist from Bengal. Extremely successful right from his college days, Sunil Das has been extremely well lauded by art critics, the press, artists and the art and culture glitterati across the world.
Sunil das was the youngest artist to have won the National Award - The Taj Shiromani Kala Puraskar
Recipient of the much coveted Govt. of India's 4th Highest Civilian Award: The PadmaShree (2014).
Highly talented Sunil Das has done shows all across the world, got fame as early as while he was still in college, youngest recipient of the Lalit Kala Academy Awards and received a scholarship to study at L’Ecole Nationale Superior des Beaux arts, Paris.
“There are painters who transform the Sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who, with the help of their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into Sun" - Pablo Picasso. Sunil Das was exactly one such artist.
Style : Sunil Das' style of work is very original and shows no specific influence. He had risen to fame like MF Hussain with his famous paintings of horses, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Ghora Das' (Hindi which means Horse Das).
Like Hussain, Sunil Das was inspired by the force and strength of the moving horse. The horses and the bull (inspired from his visit to Spain and witnessing the Bull Fighting) have appeared more than 7000 times in Das’s works. He has otherwise painted haunting pictures of women thereby revealing the dark side of people who are otherwise considered beautiful. His works on the Red Light of Kolkata, was also much lauded and brings about an important social message through his works.
Das's main mediums could easily be Oil on Canvas, His Stimulating and Stirring works in Mixed Media, Conte, Charcoal, Serigraphy, Wood Works and Sculptures. Whatever medium he worked on, he effortlessly mastered.
Not one to be stuck to one style, Das experimented and worked on various series and mediums. His works involves the quick use of the brush and pen to create master pieces that have a dynamic effect, potent with power.
