Invigorate Masterstroke - By Dipen Bose

What is Art ? 

“It is the response of man’s creative soul to the call of the Real”.

“Art awakens. a sense of real by establishing an intimate relationship between our inner being and the universe at large, bringing a Consciousness of deep joy!”

~Rabindranath Tagore

The artist is the lover of nature, therefore he is her slave and her master. Art is neither a ‘reality show’ nor a transcript of reality. But Art can rejuvenate life-scape drawing on events of life or produce an alternative version of life lived in a cherished world of thought and Imagination. These creations make visible either pleasurable imaginations or a life we aspire for, which may be fantasy but not impossible.

It has given me immense pleasure to write few sentences on the forgotten masterstrokes of the eminent artist of Bengal School -Shri Dipen Bose. 

Dipen Bose is self taught, artist with no academic training in not. But inspired by his grandfather Nagendra Bose, he learnt the oil painting technique from artist Debiprasad Ray Chowdhury. He was born and brought up in Kolkata. He started painting in 1947, after giving his job at Central Excise Services in Kolkata. His association with the Indian Institute of Art and Industry and Indian Society of Oriental Art played a vital Grote in his life. He was very close to artists Indra Dugar and Nandalal Bose. He was also associated with Art Industry and Rachana till 1952. These associations provoked and inspired him towards the traditional paintings of India. The effect of Kalighat style, Bengal school  style, Rajasthani miniature style were dominant in his painting style. On other hand, French Impressionism and Chinese Art also played vital role in his art.

He worked in different medium with different enormous style with various themes. His ‘Durga’ and Laxmi series are popular among collectors. “Crow” series is his natural representation through sketches.
