Artist's Profile
|
 |
| Atin Basak |
|
Atin Basak says that his recent body of work represents the beliefs and ways of life in the East or the Orient. The recluses and sages that he creates in his etchings and lithographs on paper have a certain quality that places them above and beyond the madding crowd of humanity. Although they are alone, they seem to be perceptive, judicious and erudite people who have seen and experienced the world as it is, and then made the choice to live apart from it.
Born in Kolkata, Atin Basak studied painting in this city and later received his MA in printmaking from a Baroda art college.
All through his career he has received several awards, prominent among them the 1999 - 2000 Charles Wallace India Trust Arts Award and a Scholarship from the French Government to work in their country as a visiting artist.
