artists, has been planned. These artists—Sekhar Roy

the exhibition and also organize a workshop to demonstrate
the process and intricacies of painting. |

| Krishnendu
Porel is a painter who composes his canvas with
meticulous attention to each and every image, however small.
In many of his pieces, it is fascinating to observe the
way the artist uses light and shade, texture and color to
depict the mood, tempo and movement of images in his paintings.
With a deft hand he creates an aura of old world streets
and by-lanes, vivid temple architecture in ancient cities.
He portrays the old world with a sense of longing, nostalgia
and mystery but not loss. Porel’s work is firmly set
in the realistic mold. He is not afraid of swimming against
the tide. He has courage and conviction. His more recent
watercolor paintings represent a sense of discovery of the
submerged. In his own word, he does it as if like a “hypnotized
agent.”
Krishnendu graduated from the Government College of Art
& Craft with a class ranking of number 1. He is a gold
medallist at that college. He also completed postgraduate
work from Benaras Hindu Univerrsity with a silver medal.
He participated in many individual shows, exhibitions, workshops
and group shows, and received many awards and has done residency
in Europe. |

Sekhar Roy has been into figurative painting
for the last 20 years. A strong sense of imagination, emotion
and a predilection for melancholy dominate his canvases.
His is a sense of personalized romanticism, which easily
combines intellect with imagination, logic with absurdity.
A total pictorial and colorful richness of the canvases
overrides whatever theme they depict—be it despair
or joy, reality or dream, uncanny or worldly, a sense of
isolation or a feeling of isolation. He does not believe
in conveying messages through canvases, he believes in creating
compositions, which would be its own message. And he does
so with commendable ease and perfection.
Sekhar graduated from Government College of Art & Craft,
Calcutta. He has participated in numerous exhibitions, group
shows, individual shows and workshops. His paintings have
been included in many public and private collections in
India and increasingly abroad.
