About the Item

Bikash Bhattacharjee - Untitled AP - 31/32 Lithograph on Paper 11 x 10.5 inches, 1985 ( Unframed & Delivered ) Style : Bikash Bhattacharya is credited with bringing realism back to Indian art at a time when artists in India were leaning more towards distortion of figures and abstraction. Besides painting the city and its people that he knew so well, Bhattacharjee was an accomplished portrait painter. Realism was Bhattacharjee’s forte; his oil paintings could depict the exact quality of drapery or the skin tone of a woman. He achieved mastery in capturing the quality of light. Bhattacharjee achieved an enigmatic quality in his paintings that works on many levels from the visual to the subconscious. Subject matter included depictions of the female form, and people of all ages and situations—old men and women, children, domestic help. He had the ability to create an authentic milieu as a background to the characters to heighten the drama. Bikash had been deeply influenced by the surrealists, and stated that Salvador Dalí was his favourite painter. About the Artist and his work : Bikash Bhattacharjee (1940 - 2006) was born in Kolkata. Education : At a very early age he lost his father. The consequent struggle for survival left him with a deep sense of insecurity as well as an empathy for the under-privileged, who often feature in his works. In 1963, he graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts from Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship. Teaching Career : Bhattacharjee taught at Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship from 1968 to 1972. He taught at the Government College of Art & Craft, Kolkata from 1973 to 1982. In 1964, he became a member of the Society of Contemporary Artists.

Group Shows : 2016 – Dag Modern, New York, The Art of Bengal 2016 – Akara Art, Mumbai, Mysteries of the Organism 2015 – Dag Modern, New York, The Naked and the Nude: The Body in Indian Modern Art 2015 – Dag Modern, Mumbai, India Modern – Narratives from 20th Century Indian Art 2013 – Christie’s South Asian & Chinese, South Asian Contemporary & Modern Exhibitions : His paintings were exhibited outside India; he had shows in 1969 at Paris; between 1970 and 72 in Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Hungary; in London in 1982; and in New York in 1985.
