DESCRIPTION
Nirode Mazumdar was a founding member of the Calcutta Group, among the first generation of Indian modernists. His acclaimed work skillfully combines Western Modernist influences with Indian subjects. He’s recognised for expansive paintings characterised by abstract gestures, influenced by the Bengal School. Mazumdar blends European Modernism and Indian art traditions harmoniously, embodying the ethos of the Calcutta Group for universally relevant, culturally rooted art. His Indian Modernist style explores abstract forms of self-expression and spirituality, diverging from Western techniques and Indian themes. His paintings follow an Abstract Expressionist style, featuring figurative compositions with abstract brushstrokes, symbolism, and strategic colours.
