Magic of colours,
poetry of gestures:Sen Shombit
Art & Deal Correspondent
Darkness to light: Landing in Kolkata from Shohidnogor 50kms away was like entering a foreign country. I’d leave my mud-bamboo home in a squatted refugee camp without electricity, potable water or sanitation, and see trams, doubledecker buses, big buildings in my daily ‘touristic’ walk from Sealdah station to my college, Government College of Art & Craft.
Sen Shombit is a painter who has stirred my deepest emotions with excitement. His extraordinary humanity arising from his heart is made visible both through his sincere eyes and in his paintings, which naturally continue his ‘artistic gestures.’ Sen’s paintings inflame imagination and touch the heart. Each colour plays a role with precise meaning within his pictorial fabric.
Each detail is managed with great care and sensibility. Indian soul, France in his eyes, poetry in his heart: this is Sen.
-Alberto Moioli
