Wired

Wired

My protagonist is Mask. An accessory so dominating that in urban life a lot of identity is driven through the masks we wear. And a lot of urban populace looks like clones of each other. I have experienced that rat race myself, it’s endless and one can’t be fast enough. The speed of life is such that life itself is left behind until the physical realities of it catch up and remind of the lost time. Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 24 X 24 inches © Swaroop Biswas

The Guitar Player

The Guitar Player

Most of the time we are producing for others but ‘art for self’ remains my favorite experience. It’s an indulgence, not a performance. My Guitar player is not out to impress anyone, not even bothered whether someone listening or not. Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 48 X 48 inches © Swaroop Biswas

The Violin Player

The Violin Player

There is something very pure about these moments. An absolute oneness with self. Can’t define this feeling. It's an experience and it has to be experienced. Medium: Oil & Acrylic on Canvas Size: 60 X 36 inches © Swaroop Biswas

The Flutist

The Flutist

What an amazing celebration of being human. No dramatic display of emotions just an undefinable mix of them and experience. Just experience. Medium: Oil & Acrylic on Canvas Size: 54 X 54 inches © Swaroop Biswas

Why

Why

This was done around the same time when 26/11 in Mumbai happened. It was such a harrowing experience that this composition took place. Felt very helpless and powerless in the face of such brutality. It seemed pointless to paint also but I am an artist, that's what I do. Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 48 X 48 Inches © Swaroop Biswas

The Florist

The Florist

The irony of selling happiness and celebration to people, irrespective of one's own state of mind and being. There are so many hidden emotional gradients there. May be you will figure out some more when you spend some time in front of this one. Medium is Oil & Acrylic on Canvas. Size: 36 X 36 inches. This one was selected for display and shortlisted for award at Creative Mind Contest in Delhi. © Swaroop Biswas

The Green Room

The Green Room

The significance of the Green Room in Theater is immense. Its here that actors spend those crucial hours before and after the act. We all have our Green Rooms, invisible though, hidden from the prying eyes of the world. It's here that we let go of our masks, be ourselves, laugh, cry and feel for the person that's 'Me', just 'Me'. Medium: Oil & Acrylic on Canvas, Size: 48 48 Inches. This one recieved an award at All India Lokmanya Tilak Exhibition-2014, Pune. © Swaroop Biswas

Living

Living

No comments here, just an eye witness account of the lives being lived in the contemporary world. Everything seems so important. Is it really? Medium: Oil & Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 36 Inches This one was selected and shortlisted for award in No Barking Art Biennial, London © Swaroop Biswas

Chess Players

Chess Players

One of my earlier Top View works. I am amazed by these moments, the chemistry between people, a complete immersion in being one, intensely connected, so complete. Almost perfect. Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 60 X 48 Inches © Swaroop Biswas

I am Alive

I am Alive

I am so fascinated by these layers of identities. False they may be but they still carry a slice of the being. Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 36 inches © Swaroop Biswas

I Am Alive

I Am Alive

Wanted to have a wild go at the canvas. Took a bright palate also, still this face surfaced even out of the wild brush strokes. Can't explain, just enjoy the gift of life, I think. Series: I Am Alive Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 36 Inches © Swaroop Biswas

I Am Alive

I Am Alive

I am amazed by the Blue color and its shades. I have been using it in and around by central subjects all the time but some time back it took center stage. More I explored, got even more immersed in its psychological impacts and significance. Series: I Am Alive Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 36 © Swaroop Biswas

I Am Alive

I Am Alive

Did this one in Pune. Someone from Pune bought it. Again a face with very prominent features, just landed on my canvas. I am just a medium it seems. Series: I Am Alive Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 36 Inches © Swaroop Biswas

I Am Alive

I Am Alive

This one is one of the earlier ones when I started the series 'I Am Alive'. I sat with an open mind without any result in sight and almost an hour later I was amazed at this character staring at me. I have never seen this face anywhere not even in photos, where these faces come from? Even I don't know. Series: I am Alive Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 12 X 18 Inches © Swaroop Biswas

A Dear Friend

A Dear Friend

One of my dear friends visited me in Pune. Spent a lot of time with him, knew him better with every day that we spent together and figured different shades in his Persona. Just felt like painting it, not a forced attempt. Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 36 X 48 inches © Swaroop Biswas

This Charcoal series is all about inward journey. A search within. How important is everything around us and will that importance change when our perspective changes? You decide. Medium: Charcoal & Watercolor on Paper Size: 17.5 X 23 inches © Swaroop Biswas

Minotaur

Minotaur

Minotaur the Punisher, an integral part of mythologies around the world. Strangely we all seem to have one hidden inside. Whether it's killing a mosquito, ant, a butterfly or a rat we are taking lives almost all the time. Just that we don't think it counts. Who decides?
