Amalesh Das primarily is a Print Maker but he is also paint and draws with equal dexiterity. Drawing for him is a passion. His concerns are more visual and plastic than dealing with them conceptually. Das has a desire to create and express with simplicity of his forms. He draws inspiration from nature. "I want to predicate my own vision on that popular subject which will be different from other vision.In my 'Bull' series I have done approximately ten works and in these works I have tried to visualise the different situation and expression of the Bull." The forceful and minimalistic use of lines successfully convey the power and strenght of the bull. The image of the bull for the artist has associations of both the force of line and the old age of man. Das is influenced by Somenath Hore's bold forms, economic use of lines and textures, printmaker Krishna Reddy is also a source of inspiration. The artist lives and works in Kolkatta.
