About H R Das

I began with the thought of Lord Shiva’s vehicle Nandi when I started on this series. I have tried to depict a lot in these paintings. My mythological bull has many poses and many different expressions as well - there are some that look as if they are laughing, some are pensive, others are dominant and full of character. I want the bulls to tell different stories through different avatars. Some of my paintings have religious symbols in the background, like the Swastika, Lotus and Lord Ganesha since I feel the background is like a stage setting in front of which my characters perform, an intricate tapestry to highlight the interactions between the main players of the magnum opus. Some may say that I have taken a common animal and given it a heroic status that it takes on an almost human persona. But one can relate to the beast’s agony, its joy of life, its anger, and one can also fear it.

HR Das graduated in painting from Indra Kala Sanit Vishwa Vidyalaya, Khairagarh. He was awarded the AIFACS Painting Award, New Delhi in 2010; The Art Society of India, Mumbai in 2009 and The Bombay Art Society, Mumbai, also in 2009. Das’s style is majorly figurative and he uses lots of reds in his paintings which evokes the sense of power. The bulls are striking, colorful, playful and full of life with varied expressions and avatars. The movement he gives his bulls is graceful, treating the canvas like a theatre and bulls as the actors. His work captures the essence of village life through cattle that don’t just exist, but pulsate with energy. He has his unique style of portraying this magnificent animal that is so rooted in the Indian culture and psyche. Das has had five solo shows of his works at Jehangir Art Gallery, Suchitra Art Gallery, Art Entrance, Bajaj Art Gallery, and Nehru Centre, Mumbai, as well as several group shows
