Born in 1949, artist Sudhangsu Bandyopadhyay earned his Diploma in Western Painting from the Government College of Art and Crafts in Kolkata Sudhangsu's work is characterised by the use of thickly layered pigments—vibrant reds, hints of blue, and chrome yellow—that give way to deep black-brown areas, creating sudden chasms on the canvas These dark regions suggest structures that are then submerged beneath a rushing surge of tempered white, creating a dramatic interplay of colour and absence He is known for his bold use of colours, particularly red and black, which he makes vibrate with intensity and ecstasy His art harmoniously blends various elements—emotions, suggestions, thoughts, and illusions—initially vague but gradually capturing and centering his sensations, both vivid and serene
