Young yet talented artist Bishwajit Goswami is displaying his rare artistic talent at a solo art exhibition at Bengal Art Lounge in the capital.
Using human body as his main source of inspiration, Bishwajit created an aura of mystery in his artwork, and visitors cannot help staring at those paintings with utter amazement.
Centred around three different series of works – In Motion, Quest for Soul and Metamorphosis and Physical Existence – the exhibition inspired by human body, succeeds in proposing an original interpretation of this age-old theme.
Quest for Soul focuses on specific parts of the human body – a back, a hand or some other limbs, enlarging them to the extreme in a hyper-realistic pursuit.
On the other hand, the artist simply defies the universal rules of Mother Nature by distorting familiar shapes of humans or animals.
Bestowed with great technical skills, Bishwajit often prefers dark backgrounds for his paintings multiplying the splendour of the artworks. The paintings are acrylic on canvas.
Quest for Soul 26 depicts the backside of a man in milieu of utter darkness. The bronze-like skin and muscular body of the man evoke a feeling of mystery as well power in visitors’ mind.
Metamorphosis and Physical Existence 10 depicts scattered shapes resembling distorted human bodies all throughout the canvas.
Born in 1981, Bishwajit Goswami recently joined as a lecturer at the Drawing and Painting Department of the Fine Art Faculty, University of Dhaka. The painter has already received several accolades of importance and was awarded with an Honourable Mention at the 16th Asian Art Biennial in December 2014. His distinctive images have featured in numerous group shows at home and abroad, and “In Motion” is his first public solo.
Inaugurated on January 11, the exhibition will remain open for everybody from 12:00pm to 8:00pm till January 24.
