Akhil Chandra Das
Enlightened, Figurative, Bronze & Wood, Indian Artist "In Stock"

About the Item

Akhil Chandra Das - Untitled (Enlightened ) Bronze & Wood Edition : Single H 37.8 x W 17 x D 8.3 inches Akhil Chandra Das (b. 1968), a prominent sculptor hailing from Bengal, stands as a beacon of artistic expression, challenging the societal norms and cultural decay through his thought provoking works. At the core of Das’s creations lies a poignant critique of prevalent societal issues - be it cultural decadence, capitalism, or hypocrisy. Through his surreal and mythological imageries, he skillfully weaves a narrative that confronts the viewers with the harsh realities of the contemporary world. Known for his affinity towards wood and bronze, Akhil Chandra Das deftly manipulates these materials with audacity and finesse. His sculptures, characterized by the interplay of disparate body parts, symbolize the disunities and separations prevalent in our fractured world. Through his art, he eloquently captures the emotional unraveling, existential isolation, and interpersonal disconnections that define our contemporary existence. One of his distinctive attributes is his ability to infuse humor and satire into his works. Das’s sculptures serve as poignant reminders of the dispassionate observers we have become, witnessing the erosion of values and nature with a sense of resigned acceptance. Through his sculptures, he not only captures the essence of our times but also beckons us to pause, reflect, and perhaps reconsider our role in shaping a more enlightened and compassionate world.

"Passion, " Acrylic Paint, Wood Elements, Icepick and Painted Plaster Heart
Located in Houston, TX
This three-dimensional work incorporates an acrylic painting on canvas laid in a handmade red frame, adorned with scorched wooden planks, a stylized plaster heart, and an ice pick. The painting is a monochromatic depiction of icebergs protruding from the surface of water. While the imagery of the painting speaks to the visible outcome of artistic production, the frame and its adornments implore the viewer to consider the requisite materials necessary for creative actualization. Bert L. Long Jr., was self-taught artist, was born in 1940 in Texas, grew up the Houston’s historic Fifth Ward and received his formal education from UCLA. Following a career as a successful master chef, Long decided to devote himself entirely to art in the late 1970’s. He began to explore folk art and assemblage to create a unique body of work, attracting the attention of Jim Harithas, then Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and artists John Alexander, Salvatore Scarpitta and James Surls. His life spanned an era of radical change in the American social climate, the influence of which can be seen clearly in his work. Long’s paintings and sculptures incorporate a high level of skill and sophisticated knowledge of art history, along with complex philosophical and social issues.  Long describes the philosophy behind his work as "a quest to help people diagnose their inner self," believing his art to be "the vehicle to help facilitate the process." “As artists we have the obligation to provide the world with art which communicates as truth. I believe that art has the power to heal our souls of their afflictions. I try to create art which helps to diagnose the prevalent conditions within our societies, hopefully providing an insightfulness which will help us all become brothers and sisters united in equality and compassion”                                       - Bert L. Long, Jr. The late Peter Marzio, former Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, said of Bert Long during the major retrospective of Long’s work at the museum: “Bert Long does not avert his gaze from that which is painful, but as [his artworks] testify, he also brings a spirit of joy and redemption to his art. We can all learn from this great artist.” Over Long’s 33-year career as a painter, sculptor, and photographer, he had several solo exhibitions at respected museums and was awarded many significant awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Grant in 1987 and the prestigious international Prix de Rome fellowship in 1990. Other notable awards of Long’s include the Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts Artist of the Year Award in 2009, the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Emergency Assistance Grant in 1997, the Houston Art League Texas Artist of the Year in 1990, the NEA Visual Artists Fellowship Grant, 1987 and the Bemis Foundation Residency in 1998. His work can be seen in over 100 private and public collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Art, the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Instituto de Bachillerato in Spain. With a recent solo exhibition at the Houston Museum of African American Culture and an exhibition overseas which is pending featuring his work, plus interest from several national museums, Bert L. Long Jr. continues to be recognized as an important African American artist throughout Texas, nationally and internationally. Bert L. Long, Jr. "Passion" 2012 Acrylic Paint, Wood Elements...
