About SHIPRA BHATTACHARYA

She was born 1954 in Kolkata, Shipra Bhattacharya is a B.Sc. graduate, who later studied Fine Art at the College of Visual Arts, Kolkata. In her early works she portrayed life everywhere around, with an immense zest for the figurative idiom and a finesse in execution. Her canvases often revolve around feminine figure entrapped within and encasing her dream world submerged in intricate renderings. While feminine figure forms a central character of her work, it is more the inner consciousness of these women that the artist draws on, using bold yet soft colour and smooth brushwork. There is a mystery behind each of her female protagonists. Her recent works depicts a clear departure from that phase as she moves from reality to fantasy. Women, both urban and rural, each with her secret passion-seeking fulfillments of an inner void of unfulfilled desires, have been the artist's current muse. The artist works with concoction of bright, bold colour and soft, curving strokes, rendering each of her paintings a mesmerizing paradox. Ever since her first solo show in Kolkata in 1981, she has made her presence felt on the country's thriving art scene with numerous solo and group shows all over worldwide. Her work adorns various public, corporate and private collections. She lives in Kolkata and works from her studio at home.

About SOMNATH HORE

Somnath Hore was born in 1921 in the village of Barama in Chittagong, now in Bangladesh. At a very early age, Hore started making posters for the Communist Party. It was at the instance of the party leader P C Joshi that Hore was admitted to the Government College of Art & Craft. From 1954 onwards, Hore started experimenting significantly with the printmaking process. Between 1954 and 195 8, he was a lecturer at the Indian College of Art & Draughtsmanship in Calcutta. From 1958 to 1967, he held several posts such as in-charge of the graphic section of the Delhi College of Arts visiting professor of the MS University, Baroda and Visva Bharati, Shantiniketan, and head of the graphic art department of Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati. He joined the Society of Contemporary Artists in 1960. A lifetime of inventive experiments with etching, intaglio, and lithographs culminated in the abstract while on while Wounds series in 1971. Dramatized with a spot of red, the white on white prints reflected the political turbulence of the times. Prints were taken with paper pulp pressed on moulded cement matrices. The moulds were made from originals done in clay. Hore began doing bronze sculptures from 1974 onwards. Hore's figuration has always reflected the anguished human body. His sculpture is no different but the imprint of the hand of the creator is more startlingly manifest in his sculptures. The torn and rugged surfaces, rough planes with slits and holes, subtle modeling and axial shifts, exposed channels, all make for exciting visual and tactile sculptures.

About SUBRATA GANGOPADHYAY

He was Born in 1959. He got First Class First in Painting from Government College of Art and Craft. The quality of his imagination strikes a refreshing difference, as he paints a wide choice of subjects starting from a robust Matador in bull fight with a 'do or die' spirit to the dark dusky Indian beauties, the aesthetically done fisher women, to serious sensitive mothers clutching the young ones to their blossom. His women in his painting are - charming, adorable, seductive, vulnerable, compassionate as with great controlled skills. He expresses their moods through their eyes, smile and their body language. Each canvass is an aesthetic blend of techniques and bursts of emotions, each element expresses an emotional involvement - such is the charm & magic of his canvasses just as overwhelming is the variety of his work done. Undoubtedly he is also a portrait artist, who paints in a mixed style within the broad expressionist format, standing firmly on the solid technical foundation derived from his learning in academic realism.

About SUHAS ROY

Suhas Roy\'s preoccupation is primarily with the female face and form, and his subjects are romanticised, inhabiting the dreamlike world between sensuality and innocence. His work is usually inspired by life around him, but his themes are as much influenced by the everyday world as they are rooted in fantasy. The vast and complex texture of life is seen as mystical and dark in his work. The mystical flavour of his works arose from his interpretations of the \'unknown\'. It is his craftsmanship and consummate skill that ensure that his richly romantic subjects do not touch extreme syrupy and stereotypical portrayals. Instead, their very patent beauty veers towards melancholic grace and elegance. This graceful portrayal of his subjects has much to do with his choice of materials - his crayons, charcoal and brush have sensitivity and refinement. Suhas Roy he studied at the Indian College of Arts and Draftsmanship, Calcutta, and under the tutelage of Prof. S.W. Hayter at the Atelier 17 Ecole Superior Des Beaux Arts, Paris. His works have been exhibited all over the world through exhibitions like the Asian Graphic Prints Traveling Exhibition, USA, the Tokyo Print Biennale, Japan, Contemporary Indian Art, Yugoslavia, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungry, and Wounds, at the Central Institute Modern Art, New Delhi, and the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi.

About THOTA VAIKUNTAM

Thota Vaikuntam was born on 1942 at Karimnagar district, Telangana. Hyderabad, in 1970, and then another in Painting and Printmaking from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, in 1972. Vaikuntam paints colorful and elaborately dressed Telangana region men and seductive women. His muse is the sensuous and voluptuous women of Telangana with their omnipresent vermilion bindis, draped in colourful sarees that highlight their dusky skin. Particularly Telangana women, are frequent subjects for his works. His obsession can be traced back to his childhood, when he used to be fascinated by the male artists who used to impersonate female characters in the travelling theatre groups that performed in his village. He admits finding the women of his village very sensuous and that he only attempts to capture their vibrancy.He generally uses only primary colours, as he believes that composite colours do not exist in nature and are therefore, unnatural. As he explains, “I like using rich primary colours, which give a sense of character and depth to my paintings. Like reds and saffron and even orange, because these are essentially Indian colours. He don't like using mixing colours, because he thinks they are not natural. He held his first solo exhibition at the Kala Bhavan in Hyderabad in 1973, and since then has had regular shows at various galleries in Hyderabad, Bangalore, New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. His most recent shows have been ‘Yes, I am He’ organized by India Fine Art at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, in 2007; ‘Telangana: Inheritance of a Dream Lost’ at Art Alive, New Delhi, also in 2007; and ‘Mukham’ at Sanskriti Art Gallery, Kolkata, in 2006.
