"There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who, with the help of their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun" - Pablo Picasso. Das was exactly one such artist. Das' style of work is very original and shows no specific influence. He had risen to fame like MF Hussain with his famous paintings of horses, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Ghora Das' ( Hindi which means Horse Das) Like Hussain, Das was inspired by the force and strength of the moving horse. The horses and the bull ( inspired from his visit to Spain and witnessing the Bull Fighting ) have appeared more than 7000 times in Das’s works. Das has otherwise painted haunting pictures of women thereby revealing the dark side of people who are otherwise considered beautiful. His works on the Red Light of Kolkata was also much-lauded and brings about an important social message through his works. Das's main mediums could easily be oil on canvas. His stimulating and stirring works in Mixed Media, Conte, Charcoal, Serigraphy, Wood Works and Sculptures. Whatever medium Das worked on, he effortlessly mastered. Not one to be stuck to one style, Das experimented and worked on various series and mediums. His works involve the quick use of the brush and pen to create masterpieces that have a dynamic effect, potent with power.

Perched #3 - original realist oil painting-contemporary wildlife art
By Elizabeth Rickert
Located in London, Chelsea
We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Perched #3, Elizabeth Rickert focuses on a single bird resting gracefully atop a stack of timeworn books, creating a moment of quiet observation. Painted in oil on canvas, the artwork combines the precision of wildlife realism with the calm structure of a traditional still-life composition. The bird appears alert yet relaxed, its presence bringing a sense of gentle movement to the otherwise still arrangement. Rickert’s brushwork carefully captures the fine details of the bird’s plumage and the textures of the aged book covers beneath it. Each book feels tactile and familiar, their worn edges and subtle lettering suggesting years of stories and history. The simplicity of the composition allows the viewer to focus on the delicate balance between subject and setting. The colour palette is warm and earthy, with soft reds, mossy greens, muted blues and warm ochres appearing throughout the stacked books. The bird’s feathers introduce striking accents of dark charcoal and glowing orange, providing a vivid focal point within the otherwise calm composition. Executed in oil on canvas, this original artwork highlights Elizabeth Rickert’s talent for combining wildlife realism with intimate storytelling. This original work is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online. Artist Biography: Elizabeth Rickert is an award-winning contemporary realist artist based in the United States whose work is inspired by the quiet poetry of the natural world. Originally trained as a sculptor, she began her artistic career working in ceramics before expanding into drawing and painting. Over time, she explored pastels and eventually transitioned to oil painting, which has become her primary medium. Elizabeth’s background in sculpture continues to influence her artistic approach. Even as a painter, she observes nature with a sculptor’s eye—carefully studying the interplay of shape, form, light, and shadow. This sensitivity to structure and atmosphere is reflected in her compositions, which often feature detailed impressions of birds...
