About

Born on 24th April 1974

Strong colors, well defined strokes and soft highlights are the characteristics of my works. My human subjects sport somber, oval faces with expressive, yet inscrutable eyes. My use of color and shading is almost surreal, but remains in harmony with the picture. Patterns, symmetrical and neat, as well as insect and animal motifs appear alongside my figures, anchoring them to our world.
Avi Roy received his Bachelors of Visual Arts (Western Painting) from the Government College of Art, Kolkata in 1998. He then went forward and obtained a post diploma in Graphics (Print Making) Kala Bhavana, Visva- Bharti, Shantinekatan in the year 2000. Avi has exhibited his creativity in various art spaces of Kolkata. He has also showcased his work in Delhi, Chandigarh, Pune and Chennai. In the year 2008, he participated in a group exhibition at the Jehangir Art Gallery. His paintings have traveled to London, Sydney and Japan for display as well. Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi has awarded Avi Roy with the best painting award in 2005. Stylistically, Avi's paintings have a unique treatment of strong colors blended with finely defined brushstrokes. The soft and subtle highlights are the characteristic features of his work. Composing his painting with an oval face has become a central feature of his paintings where the silent-straight expressions has spoken the mind of the artist. The entire dialogue has been carried by the eyes that have mutely spoken the unsaid hidden thoughts. Tempera as a medium has majorly occupied Avi's attention. Other than this, he also worked with acrylics, watercolors & inks with hand-made papers as the base. Depiction of themes like Christ, Adam, Eve, David demonstrates some kind of inclination towards Old Testament. His paintings take us back to the stain glass window paintings of the 13th century Gothic era.
