Bimal Dasgupta Abstract Landscape

Bimal Dasgupta spent his childhood in Behrampur in Bengal. After completing his art education from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta, and he embarked on a career as a landscape artist. Bimal Dasgupta’s paintings present variations on the theme of petals.

He painted landscapes that showed his appreciation for nature and colors. Although he was primarily interested in watercolors; he also experimented with acrylic paint and oil as well. However, his preferred medium remained watercolor after he found out that he was allergic to turpentine. Using an array of realistic images as well as completely abstract forms, Dasgupta used textural changes and bright color schemes, making his landscapes come alive with shifting shapes and barely visible forms.
