About The Artwork

Baul is not just one of the many things unique to Bengal. This wandering music cult has a special place in the history of world music. The word "Baul" has its etymological origin in the Sanskrit words "Vatula" (madcap), or "Vyakula" (restless) and used for someone who is "possessed" or "crazy".Originally, the Bauls were nonconformist, who rejected the traditional social norms to form a distinct sect that upheld music as their religion."Baul" is also the name given to the genre of folk music developed by this creative cult. It's easy to identify a Baul singer from his uncut, often coiled hair, saffron robe (alkhalla), necklace of beads made of basil (tulsi) stems, and of course the single-stringed guitar (ektara).

In his school days he had that urge for energy which could make him more empowered, more spontaneous. After few days when some useless particles being already collected in his life and the 'Gati'(speed) was obstructed, he got someone who was just like a fresh stream to his blockade wave and enhanced its speed. He was his Guru (teacher) late. Prof. Gopal Sanyal. With all his guidance and blessings he did eight solo exhibitions, participated in various group shows and camps. He's very much influenced by the Indian mythological characters specially "˜Krishna and His surroundings'. He's getting immense pleasure by depicting the different postures of that great character of "˜Mahabharata', because that particular character is seemed to him a perfect combination of love, passion and thoughtful mind. Thus his journey is going on ....
