Artist Statement:
'VERSIFICATION OF LINE AND
COLOUR'
Line is the forte of
Nabakishore's paintings. They
swirl, surge, intertwine, even
retreat and move
diagrammatically convering the
pictorial space. Nabakishore
lets his pen or brush move on
the paper freely. The figures
born out of those lines and of
the exuberant colour splashes
have a naive charm about them.
They show faces of a next-door
girl or of a folk deity and
recall the images that we see
in folk art of rural Bengal.
In his paintings, symboils
including the phallic ones
create a primordial ambience.
His browns and yellows, red
and greens trapped in the
darkness make up a rich fabric
of forms.
Nabakishore is a self taught
painter who teaches Bengali
language and literature in a
college. his knowledge of
medieval Bengali poetry is
simply reflected in the images
that he paints. As a painter,
he recreates the world of
mythology and folklore in a
visual language that seems
unique.
