Chandan Bhowmick
A Post graduate (MFA Painting)from Government College of art & craft Kolkata 2007. He has shown his excellence as a painter as well as Photographer. He has been interested in experimental work.It all starts with the brush caressing the canvas with or without paint on it, which makes the beginning of the everlasting long journey of discovering the unknown. Delving into the ocean of uncertainties. Isn't mystery a charm and a pleasure on its own?
Just being occupied with the formidable thoughts which flourish themselves on the canvas in their primitive forms of simplistic beauty to count on. The fortuitous interaction of them and the formation of another outlandish form surprise him. They are being the precursor of the next thought yet to be given shape. Taking a step or two back from the canvas, makes me gawking at it how did they blend so perfectly to give such omnipresent meaning, epitomizing the elements of nature which already exist. However that isn't the end of it, then begins the process of abandoning all forms and balance peeping through the creation even slightly. Allowing the art piece to radiate the feeling, the emotion that has been the treasure gained in the process, paving the way for the next thought to be trodden on again. Thus the journey carries on and on and on. Setting the desire one step further to be attained. As he believe in fermentation of the painting in hand, with the violent and passionate brush strokes, like a fine aged wine.
Having less or no control over my works and welcoming the unknown makes me feel the thrill in his bones to face it again and again, spending time in front of the canvas with myriad of thoughts, emotions and realisations which evaporates from it and sieves through my skin and cleanse the soul, the inner self.
As what they reflect is the mindfulness of the painter and the painting being the medium of the transfer of energy to give a sense of salvation when looking at it.
