About

Born on 1st January 1970

I grew up among the sepia coloured terracotta temples. My childhood was splashed with art, faith and nature. These three aspects formed a circular bond and that forms the basis for everything I do and will always be present in my compositions. There is another trinity that holds a lot of importance to me, it is that of nature-man-god. I think they are inseparable and I try presenting in the same in various forms. With my paintings, I try to present to my viewers a glimpse of my life, faith and triumph through trails.
Basuki Das Gupta is a resident of Tumkuru, India. He has been a part of various group and solo shows over the years. His works of rough-hewn and highly textured murals-on-canvas mirror the earthy feel, textures and patterns found in terracotta temples of Bishnupur.The women, in his paintings, are inspired by goddesses in his own life - his mother, aunts and his wife - as they live with incredible poise and grace.   His creations are an attempt to explore the dichotomy between nature and mankind, rural and urban, or the human and divine. For, there is always a constant war of compassion and truth over greed and ego.
