1961-65

About the Item

Dipen Bose - Durga Acrylic on Canvas 36 x 30 inches (Framed & Delivered) In this striking acrylic work, Dipen reimagines the divine form of Goddess Durga with bold lines, vibrant reds, and serene expression. Rooted in traditional iconography yet rendered in a modern folk style, the painting radiates strength, grace and spiritual energy. Here the master artist shows very subtly the command he has over the brush. The dramatic effect that Monotone watercolors created, to play and tantalize all of our senses. Effortlessly executed, one cannot miss the expertise and uniqueness in the works. Even the less dense watercolors, speaks to its viewers. Its never been easier to connect with watercolors and its essence. Style : For inspiration and evolving a personal style, Dipen looked at any part of the history of art that seemed useful- Jain and Kangra painting, to Far Eastern art and even to Impressionism. This eclectic method finally resulted in a style akin to the Bengal School. During the mid 1940s, when Euro-centric concepts of Modernism were gaining momentum in India, Dipen as a loner ventured into a rather forgotten zone- the world of Indian mythology. During the early years of the twentieth century, the nationalistic movements demanded History Painting to conjure up a romantic vision of the past. During the heyday of colonialism, the need was more emotional than real. With time, the trend of History Painting waned. It was exactly at that time when Zainul Abedin, Chittaprosad, Rathin Maitra, Prodosh Dasgupta were drawing on the reality of human sufferings around them that Dipen quietly stood apart and painted from imagination, while Zainul painted from life.
