About the Item
Painter in oil, gouache and watercolour, born in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, whose wives included the artists Anna Macmiadhacháin and Bonnie Brown. Macmiadhacháin (pronounced Macmeeahon) studied at Belfast College of Art, 1949–52; National Art College in Dublin, 1952–3; won a travelling scholarship to Moscow in 1957 and Poland in 1960; then studied at Academy of Art, Cracow, 1960–1. He early settled on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, and he and Bonnie Brown opened their White Yard Studios in Swanage to the public. He painted widely in Ireland, Cuba, Mexico, North America, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and elsewhere. Macmiadhacháin’s work varied widely in style, and he often employed a richly coloured palette. He took part in numerous mixed shows, including RA, RUA, RWA, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, elsewhere in the provinces and abroad.
New Academy Gallery showed his work solo from 1990, with a retrospective at Molesworth Gallery, Dublin, 1999. Irish Arts Council, Sussex University and HM King Juan Carlos, of Spain, hold examples.

Shuvaprasanna Bhattacharya - The Owl - 30 x 30 inches (unframed size)
Oil & Acrylic on Canvas
** This work will go in rolled from, for framing please contact with gallery.
In Hindu Mythology , some say, Lakshmi (Goddess of Fortune and Wealth) rides the owl; others believe the owl simply accompanies her, while she ... Goddess Lakshmi is also said to be the mistress of spiritual wisdom. By keeping the owl as her vehicle, she teaches us to open our eyes to the light.
Style : The city of Kolkata has always figured prominently in his work. His themes come from his personal interactions with its urban milieu - its sickness and sordidness, its violence and vulnerability and all that compounds its existential agony. Shuvaprasanna has depicted varying moods of the city and its people, its places, and all its facets that make the city distinctive.
He doesn't merely portray reality as 'matter of fact' and his presentation of reality often has dream-like elements in it. In terms of technique, Shuvaprasanna boasts a precise, finely executed style that yields an unmistakable visual intensity. He works comfortably in an assortment of media, including oil on canvas, charcoal, and mixed media.
About the Artist and his work :
Born : In Calcutta, 1947.
Education :
Graduated from Indian College of Art (R.B. University, Calcutta) in 1969.
Exhibitions :
Shuvaprasanna has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Tao Art Gallery and at the Chawla Art Gallery, Square One Mall. Several works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'ABODE' sold at Waddington's 'Fine Prints & Photography Auction...
