Gallery SHUVAPRASANNA

Born in the year 1947 Shuvaprasanna or Shuva or Shuvada as he is fondly called, studied art at the Indian College of Art in Calcutta. His checkered career spanning over four decades includes a varied range of work as a graphic artist, painter, educator, writer and art activist. The urban milieu of Calcutta- its existential agony and survival instinct, its joys and people- the city to which he belongs, has figured prominently in much of his work that often comes in series ranging from cityscapes to clocks to crows and owls. Passion flowers with their discrete erotic undertones and divinities series of Durga, Krishna, Radha and other icons in vibrant hues with a textural use of gold and silver foil, reminiscent of Indian miniature paintings, pressed delicately onto the canvases, marked a creative breakthrough for the artist. Keen on experimentation he continues to explore new themes, forms and media and his work comes in as assortment of media- graphics, oil on canvas, drawings on paper, charcoal, and mixed media while he has also experimented with sculptural forms and installations.
