Biswajit Dasgupta's engagement with art as a practicing painter stems from the lived experiences of growing up in the semi-suburban area of thickly populated city of Kolkata, vibrant with a multicultural social environment and a rich layered history of its own. The city has inspired him to live robustly amidst chaos, overlapping spaces, incessant flow of time and space and an intense energy characterized by the struggles of existences. However, amidst the chaotic space and life, Biswajit’s visual world, as envisioned in his art, discovered certain vibrant rhythms and energy flows that assert a faith in life and its immense power to sustain the energy. His paintings never seek the so-called balance or harmony, but tend to create both, embracing the pandemonium, the seeming disorder and the multiple voices appearing from the dense layered spaces of the canvas.
Biswajit’s art takes off from that experience to create a world where chaotic and unruly crowd form their own garden of delight. He experiments with the visual elements,figures, compositions and colors and let the forms take their own course and build their own narratives. However, his paintings circumvent any specific narrative although they seem to be whispering multitude stories, all merging into a hum. From the initial jottings to a much glowing color scheme, the journey of his paintings is enriched by the experiments done with technique and application of pigments, mainly in acrylic and mixed media, eschewing the conventional norms. Being largely self-taught without any institutional training the psychic realm of his art stimulates his painterly imaginations.
