sudip<br />
roy<br />
A graduate from the Government College of <strong>Art</strong>s and Crafts in Calcutta, the inspiration for<br />
Sudip Roy’s realistic rendering of everyday life comes from the people and objects that he sees<br />
around. It is his palette and compositions in a distinctly styled imagery that turn inanimate<br />
objects into sensuous and pleasurable visuals. Equally deft in working in oils and water<br />
colours, his themes include icons and other subjects of human interest. A recipient of awards<br />
including a Gold Medal from the Sahitya Kala Parishad and an award from AIFACS, Delhi his<br />
work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in several cities across India and abroad and<br />
is held in many important corporate and private collections. The artist lives in Delhi and works<br />
from his studio in the city.<br />
My recent visit to Shirdi, had an intense spiritual affect on me. I got to know more<br />
about the simple lifestyle of this revered Saint and was deeply touched by it. It is<br />
this simplicity of Baba, that I tried to capture on the canvas.<br />
