STYLE
To Partha Pratim Deb, the connotation of visual creativity
does not hold on to any `ism` or style, but is an outcome
of creative playfulness that is arrived at spontaneously,
as part of an ongoing process of introspection and submission.
To him, the sterilized sanctity of a medium finds no
significance. Rather, he explores and experiments with
the endless repertoire of discards, shifting and recycling
them into a pictorial language. Thus he translates his
ideas into multiple hybrid forms and interesting metamorphosed
images, an approach that often synthesizes the disciplines
of painting.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
He was the Professor in painting and Dean, Faculty
of Visual Arts, Rabindra Bharati University, Calcutta.
