Tapas Das

Tapas Das is an Indian contemporary artist from Kolkata. Art is a language through which he communicates his state of mind to his viewers.  Simple forms and objects play prominent roles in his paintings, enunciating the simplicity that persists within him. As an avid nature lover, many of his paintings have birds and mammals as central objects. Additionally, various natural objects are spread out on the canvas as metaphors implicating the freedom that the artist desires for and cherishes. 

Indian painting styles have had a great impact on Tapas Das's work. The impression of a vintage car or that of an antique telephone on his canvas is the reflection of his nostalgia. His effort is to rejuvenate the lost glory of the past. The soft pastel shades bring a subtleness in his paintings which promises to usher in a sense of calm among the viewers.
