Mother and Child : Modern Indian Art by Suhas Roy in Mixed Media on paper
"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." - Rajneesh
Style :
Suhas Roy, India's leading master modernist, student of painting at the coveted Indian College of Draftmanship and Ecole' Superior Des Beaux Art , Paris, erstwhile principal at the Vishwa Bharti College of Art, Kalabhavan In Shantineketan , a master pastel artist , a master print maker, one of the biggest and the most enduring names in the genre of Indian modern art. Often dubbed the father of female figurative forms. He captivated the audience with deep intense oil works of Radha Series and the Christ Series in soft pastel on paper and intense Oil on canvas paintings .Consequently, his recent body of works, “Drops of Silence”, executed in oil, pastels and pen-and-ink etchings on backdrops in watercolours, are all studies of “mysterious slightly surreal nude women floating in a void”. Roy’s forte is Radhika – dark, enigmatic, beautiful Indian women with the slightest smile and ethereal in its quality .
