About Some of his famous paintings

Suburban villas, highway-side retreats dread the encroachments of our growing streets, houses like tight boxes neatly squashed in the grimy and dingy rows of the city, blazing with all the July sun's collected rays. And the delighted citizen, who gasping there and breathing clouds of dust, and calls it country air are represented as a nowhere to be found reminiscence of the artist. The work Kolkata Goli, best shows the artist’s observant eye towards the city of joy, the peep he takes in the nooks and corners of the regal and majestic city. The encompassing loneliness that is distinguishing in the work of the artist gives us a resolute sentiment and sensation of sublime and awe.

The artist does not only take us on a first to last voyage within the city, but tries to render the quintessence of the villages in the mysterious corners of Bengal. There is a way that nature speaks. Most of the time, we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough to pay attention to the story. The scheme of magnificence, sublime and nostalgia lurks in its corner too, and it is thus all the better proved in the work Loneliness.
