This untitled work by Biman Bihari Das (2002) is a striking example of the artist’s imaginative visual language, where mythology, human emotion, and dreamlike landscapes merge into a surreal narrative. Executed in mixed media on paper, the composition presents two intertwined figures at its center: a stylized female figure with a commanding presence and a smaller, reclining male figure gazing upward. The female form, rendered in warm ochres and reds, curves gracefully with an arm raised above her head, creating a rhythmic, almost sculptural silhouette. Her large, single eye and simplified features evoke folk and tribal art traditions, while also suggesting an inner, symbolic gaze.
The surrounding environment is equally evocative. Dark pillars, a glowing moon, and a turbulent sky filled with expressive color washes establish a mystical atmosphere. The distant mountains and hovering birds further contribute to the sense of a narrative suspended between reality and imagination. The male figure, holding a small red flower, introduces a subtle gesture of devotion or longing, reinforcing themes of intimacy and emotional dependency.
Biman Bihari Das, an Indian painter known for his expressive figurative style, often drew inspiration from folk aesthetics, mythology, and the psychological interplay between human figures. His works blend bold outlines, textured surfaces, and vibrant colors to construct poetic, symbolic worlds. In this painting, Das transforms a simple interaction between two figures into a layered visual story of power, tenderness, and mystery.
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes. In the 1980s, as head and first curator of the Habiart Gallery founded by Mrs Rekha Modi — a childhood friend — Mrs Mayor worked closely with and curated shows for renowned artists such as A Ramachandran, GR Santosh, Rameshwar Broota, Sakti Burman, MK Bardhan, Dhiraj Chaudhury, M Sivanesan, and Arup Das among others.
Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more. Artworks commissioned by her are now part of prestigious collections, such as those of the India Habitat Centre, Ranbaxy, Pepsi, Hotel Lalit, Bank of America, and many more private and public collections.
