Basuki Dasgupta: Fusing Myth and Modernity

Basuki Dasgupta is an intrepid storyteller, recasting ancient fables and mythological imagery in a distinctly contemporary light. His wide-ranging mixed-media works, inspired by influences from Patachitra to Baul music, feature non-figurative studies and his trademark ethereal, puppet-like figures. His art reveals a poignant attempt to bridge dualities, whether between nature and mankind, darkness and light, or the human and divine.
