Artist Statement:
'VERSIFICATION OF LINE AND
COLOUR'
Line is the forte of
Nabakishore's paintings. They
swirl, surge, intertwine, even
retreat and move
diagrammatically convering the
pictorial space. Nabakishore
lets his pen or brush move on
the paper freely. The figures
born out of those lines and of
the exuberant colour splashes
have a naive charm about them.
They show faces of a next-door
girl or of a folk deity and
recall the images that we see
in folk art of rural Bengal.
In his paintings, symboils
including the phallic ones
create a primordial ambience.
His browns and yellows, red
and greens trapped in the
darkness make up a rich fabric
of forms.
Nabakishore is a self taught
painter who teaches Bengali
language and literature in a
college. his knowledge of
medieval Bengali poetry is
simply reflected in the images
that he paints. As a painter,
he recreates the world of
mythology and folklore in a
visual language that seems
unique.

Bewitching lines
Nabakishore Chanda’s paintings
seem to emanate from the earth
itself despite the intricacy
of lines that seem to dominate
them. The pristine quality of
the faces that emerge from the
lines startle us with their
freshness which reminds us of
vernal showers at times. On

| Your Personal Biography |
For Nabakishore Chanda, painting is the spontaneous expression of the creative impulse within him. A self trained artist, this latent ability was unleashed one fine day, when he was urged by a friend to complete a painting he was casually working on. From then on, Nabakishore began his rendition of beautiful, mythopoeic painting dominated by lines and colours.
Born in 1964 on 4th January in a remote village of West Bengal, his emergence as an artist was not very easy as from childhood itself he had to fight against tremendous financial odds. Today he is a senior lecturer in a South Kolkata college and also a budding name in the field of painting. He has earned accolades from renowned artists and has many exhibitions to his credit. He has also designed covers of books and his work has recently been used in a documentary on Shakti Chattopadhyay.====================
