About the Item

Sunil Kumar Das - Family - 37 x 12 x 6 inches Wood & Fiberglass. Style : In his works, Das strives to simplify, elements and features- as if he wants to distill freely from the figure of animal or human, the essence of a sensibility that is at once clear, and emotively expressive. He animates lines and contours with subtle stone inflections and contemporary characteristics because he moulds notions of positive and negative space. Posture and poise become the most powerful tools in the hands of this sculptor. The charismatic tenor of these works stems from the simple melancholy and the effortless accessibility. The folds and moods of animal expression are seen, the graceful feminine forms in the heads and the human figures are aware of the hegemony of the poise and humble sophistication. Das brings out the twin aspects of perceived reality, in which each interpenetrate the other, and are curiously interchangeable. He transforms sculptural principles by adding volume and mass to it and lifts his compositions from dual dimensions into modern multiple innovations to create the idea of the essence of reality within the inner rhythms of naturality. Das has developed a visual idiom of combining two kinds of materials- stone and metal, worked out in two methods – carving and casting, giving out two tonal effects- of shining light and deepening darkness. He has used one material and method for animate and another for inanimate segments for each of his composite images. About the Artist & his work : Born : 1952 in Kolkata.

  • Lost in reflexion
    By Guillaume Lachapelle
    Located in Montreal, Quebec
    Text by Terence Sharpe There is a moment in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972) when the character Hari commits suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. As she is not actually a human, but an artificial hybrid product of the mysterious planet and the protagonists’ memories, she heals rapidly and is alive again minutes later. Her choice to take her own life is poignant, seemingly the action of a being becoming aware of its hopeless infinitude. Her realization that while the men will die on the space station or elsewhere, her existence is that of immortality, a deeply alienating notion that causes her to seek her own destruction. The Montreal artist Guillaume Lachapelle has one work that prompts a sense of eternal alienation that echoes Hari’s tragedy. The work greets the viewer with a empty doorway flanked by clinically white bookshelves...
