About the Item

Amitabh Sengupta - Masks Nigeria Period , Edition 1/1 Frottage on Paper , 29.4 x 21.25 inches , 1986 Inclusive of shipment in roll form. Style : In Amitabh SenGupta's works TIME is depicted in various metaphors. As in the remains of rock-cut shrines or shelters, the Haveli door, the walls or a seascape, they all carry the mark of TIME - the texture of sun and wind, rain and corrosion and so on. Objects of past, and the objects of now, all stand within the frame of present. The meaning of past and present seemed to have merged in a zone of real existence - within the space and time of the artist's experience. Again as metaphor of time, the element of myth enters in Amitabh's works as often, as if to merge past into the present. Amitabh uses oil in a modernists' way of classical manner, layers after layer, and often using the effect of the under layer. The major environment he likes to create on the canvases has an imposing feeling of reality that invariably merged into an unreal zone. The unknown elements are vital as they take real objects into a sense of continuity and motion. About the Artist and his work : Born : 1941. Education : 1963 - Graduated from the Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata. 1966-68 - Received French Government scholarships to study painting and printmaking at Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. 1981 - Ed.
