SUKANTA DAS

Sukanta Das was born in 1973 in Kolkata, and graduated with a degree in Visual Arts from the Rabindra Bharti University, Kolkata, in 1996. He has had 4 solo shows and a host of Group shows. He was a recipient of the National Scholarship in 1996 and the Avantika Art Society, New Delhi, honored him in 2003. Sukanta is a romantic at heart. His subject, mostly a contemplative woman is painting delicately and in a realist style. His use of charcoal and paint layers gives the surface an exotic tension.
