AWARDS
- 1956 The Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, honoured
him with a Gold Medal for being, the best exhibit
in modern art.
STYLE
He is a realist with strong expressionistic tendencies.
Art for him could not be reduced to terms of aesthetic
sensation alone. He therefore tried to make a subjective
statement that reflects the tragedy of the human condition.
His swirling or swelling figures, both human and animal,
burst the bounds of normal anatomy by sheer force of
vitality.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Art Lecturer in Mira Institute, Calcutta.
