Ashoke Mullick

Woman, Bird, Acrylic on Canvas Contemporary Artist "In Stock"

Ashoke Mullick is considered one of the leading painters from the Bengal School of Art. Mullick combines a sense of satire with contemporary conditions. His paintings focus strongly on the ordinary man and the contradictions he faces. He uses colors like greens and blues to depict a largely urban India. His paintings also include a strong focus on the ordinary person – more specifically womankind and the contradictions it faces. Mullick likes to portray the contemporary age where people have lost the human touch and have become increasingly impersonal in their behaviour. As a painter, he touches on these facets where customs are not being followed and the link between now and the past is getting hazy. He's carved out a niche for himself with his juxtaposition of real and unreal imagery infusing his canvases with bold, vibrant imagination and certain energy, which is extremely appealing. Mullick has been painting for more than 30 years. He has participated at several art camps and the workshops, like the workshops of Found object and Metamorphosed object at the Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata in 1997, and International Artists Workshop by Kalakriti Art Gallery, Hyderabad in 2006 and 100 years of Cellular Jail, at Andaman & Nicobar Islands in 2006 and many more. His works are in the collection of several art connoisseurs in India and abroad.
