Banerjee uses a variety of media on his canvas to create images that startle the viewer, more so with the alternation of dark and bright colours. The idea of juxtaposition plays a crucial role in Banerjee’s art, as he creates a multiplicity of meanings with the help of varied or oppositional images. Banerjee’s ‘Alligator’ series for example simultaneously portrays the animal as a predator and a victim, giving the works multiple layers of meaning. Banerjee had his first solo exhibition at the Oxford Book Store Art Gallery, Kolkata, in 2006. His work has also been featured in several group exhibitions at the Academy of Fine Art, Kolkata; at Janus Art Gallery, Kolkata, all in 2009; and at Pegasus Art Gallery, Hyderabad; and Canvas Art Gallery, Kolkata, in 2008.
