Joydip Sengupta is a Visual Artist based out of Kolkata. He had his education from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Scotland, UK, College of Art, New Delhi, India, Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. While working with imagery he quite often finds himself combining organic forms along with structural elements to create contrast and to project the viewpoint of human expansion through the man-made and its implications on nature. He relies on a combination of accidents and chance encounters with form and imagery to build up the narration. A certain space triggers a certain response. This depends on the interplay of drawing, painted surface and abstract shapes that intermingle to create a sense of ambiguity. He is interested in creating mystery by tweaking reality where the familiar and the unfamiliar fuse to create a distinct realm that represents the world we live in and yet transcends it.
A few of his solo exhibitions are as follows:
- 2019: “INTERFACE”, Artworld, Sarala’s Art Centre, Chennai
- 2018: “CONUNDRUM”, Ganges Art Gallery, Kolkata
