| Nilanjan Banerjee |
|
Strange colours play in the depths of my being all day long. With the deepening of dusk, they take wing as butterflies. They call out, “Afloat on our wings, you will never trace her.” The unruly rain cannot wash out these strange colours.
My paintings, like my life, are neither pre-planned nor organized. Therefore it is a matter of great joy to me. My paintings are spontaneous expressions of my thoughts which are often shadowed by the sense of a frightening absence of continuity in life around me and my relationships.
So many colours converge on a canvas. Each colour gives up its natural inclination. So many colours wander, float and mingle; they break open my armour of vanity. So many colours become a butterfly. In many hues they drift the carelessness of my past.
