Paintings by Basuki Dasgupta August 9, 2009

Kynkyny Art s pleased to present an art show of recent mixed media paintings by Basuki Dasgupta. Basuki graduated in Painting from Viswa Bharati University, Santiniketan in 1992, after which he completed his masters in Mural Painting from the same school. Throughout his career, he has worked on murals using various techniques like the Jaipur, Italian and Pompeii Fresco, Egg and Casein tempera, Cement and Sandcasting, Terracotta and mixed media. The visual aesthetics of mural-making translate into painted form when he works on canvas or paper. The surfaces of his mixed media works are usually richly textured, with the forms appearing as though in relief. Basuki's style of figuration can be placed in the long practice of the Bengal figurative tradition that takes its roots from folk drawing. The subject matter for his paintings comes from everyday life and folk and religious mythology. From 1993 onwards, he has participated in more than fifteen shows, both solo and group. His work is also displayed on Saffron Art, one of India's leading online art auction sites.
