 |
| Bikash Bhattacharjee |
|
Born in Kolkata in 1940, Bikash Bhattacharjee lost his father at a very early age. In 1963, he graduated from Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship. He joined the same college as Professor in 1968. From 1973, Bhattacharjee began teaching at the Government College of Arts and Crafts and taught there till 1982.
His drawings form a fitting introduction to his paintings, revealing the predilection of the artist for forms – forms that are consist in terms of tone rather than line. Bhatacharjee carefully expresses the textural effects of crayons, pastels and pencil using the combination of highlights and depths of passages built of varying intensities of line. Bhattacharjee is also known for his Kolkata cityscapes that he worked on in his twenties.
He works with many mediums - Oil on Canvas, Tempera, Oil on Board, Pastels on Board, Water Colour, Crayon and Pencil.
The artist lives in Kolkata. A recent illness left his right side paralyzed as a result of which he no longer paints.
