New Delhi-based Treasure Art Gallery recently showcased artworks of 15 renowned master artists from Bengal working with various media such as painting and sculpture. The show titled Art of Bengal Today’ gave people a peek into the rich and dynamic history of Bengal through a kaleidoscopic collection of art marked by beauty, despair, irony and much more. Curated by the gallery’s owner, Tina Chandroji, the show featured artworks of renowned Bengal artists, including Jogen Chowdhury, Ganesh Haloi, Sunil De, Ashok Bhowmik and Tarun Dey.
While works of Chowdhury and Haloi are well-known for their vivid surrealism, drawing upon and reminding one of the horrific loss and brokenness of Partition-era Bengal; the fragmentation, decay, despair, and death have permeated the artworks of other artists, including Tarun Dey, Ashok Bhowmik and Goutam Chowdhury.
