STYLE
His art is associated specifically with Bengal modernism,
replete with reference to the regions crafts and village
arts, it also inhabits a crutial niche within the larger
national arts spectrum. Fashioning a new `folk` style
drawing on local art forms, it stands out in this period
as a singular example of Indian Primitivism and the
bearer of a new left cultural ideology.
