Amar Singha

Location: India

Amar Singha was born and brought up in a baronial family of the north Bengal. In his childhood, he got color pencils, crayons and drawing sheets to avoid his loneliness. Behind the royal flamboyance, he had a lot of curiosity which he tried to put down on the drawing sheet. That childish game is now converted into a meaningful craft of his life. He took admission in the Ramakrishna mission primary school in Calcutta and after a few years, he gets back again to their own high school and then college. After obtaining the graduation, he got a chance to admit in art college of Calcutta. In the final year of art college, his father expired and within a few years, he leaves their ancestor's palace forever. Presently, he is residing in his own house and continuing painting in the studio.

Statement - The painting he formed in an exceptional way that revealing himself and the world around him. In the language of color, his painting trumps up the joy of human life and make visual poetry on canvas. Uses of contrary color in painting produce the delights of living. The blank white space came as the symbol of eternity that respectively bears a calmness. It seems to be indicating something around the past experience of his spiritual life, unconsciously. Having affection for human life, it's an endless journey to the infinity. From the structural perspective, his painting based on synthetic cubism - which later becomes standard in Indian style. He texturized painting especially that indicates the home-craft of rural Bengal that is also very near to the texture of jute. It's a uniqueness that makes his painting stand out of others. Throughout the game of reconstruction of the form, he reached to that imaginative world whose bless helps to become eloquent his canvas. Rather than passing in the Indian two-dimensional trend, the tenderness of light and shadow brings his thoughts back to life. The use of the line shows the eternal idea of the Indian drawing which he makes his own. From the grammatical perspective, his painting dominates the Indian custom, and in the framework of the ritualized Indian grammar, he configured the western ideas. The flows of two different visions come into the key-point that help him to plan his composition which significantly makes his painting unique. The masterpieces of the ancestor Indian artists have inspired him to move forward. By his creation, he has tried to find out the survival supply of human beings that have the address of joy. In his painting, he finds the stuff of surviving as well as the meaning of living that will inspire others to take a few more time from God to have the flavor of human life.
