Tapan Kumar Dash completed his BFA from B.K. College of Art & Crafts, Bhubaneshwar, in 1995.
He tries to set up a dialogue between the images and their private associations in his paintings. He tries to raise his paintings above an exercise in mere technical and skilful competency. Though there is disparity in his choice of subjects, his paintings can visually be grouped together, as they naturally bond by a similarity in theme, concept, execution and attitude. His figures speak directly and forcefully, and keep the viewers absorbed. His dialect is local, but its interpretative language makes it valid in a global multilingualism. He discovers his own self in the multiplication of images, and give it a metaphorical sensibility.
He has many solo shows to his credit, and his work is in many private collections in India and abroad.
I try to set up a dialogue between the images and their private associations in my painting. My works explore a contrast between two kinds of private pursuit that the cosmic and biological. My works pose a stoic silence and intense inversion. I don’t remain seriously preoccupied within any thematic bondage. Though there is a continuous link in all my works but there is a sort of considerable disparity in the choice of subjects as the particular concerns for each painting are different. I try to raise my elements above an exercise in mere technical and skilful competency. My paintings could visually be grouped together as they naturally bond by a similarity in theme, concept, execution and attitude.
I don’t let myself rippled by any preconceived notion; there is only the existence of an experience of the origin. I trust my creative instinct and my intuition dominates the space. I don’t let myself besieged by the constant onrush of disposal imagery. My figures speak directly and forcefully. They keep the viewers absorbed.
The common faces, the common characters affect me intensely. My figures are full, live, vibrant and eloquent. My figures are intricately formulated with a genuine synthesis. They are stimulating and conceivable. I may be critically defended for my substantial accomplishment, personal magnetism and penetrating quality. I realise the importance of revalidation rather than mere synthesis and incorporation. I remain in a constant pursuit of a creative dialect in my mother tongue language syndrome. My dialect is still local but its interpretative language makes it valid in a global multilingualism. In my works I foster a verbal technique with the use of the ‘visual’ extending a privilege to my imageries to access the medium for conversation. I discover my own self in the images and give it a metaphorical sensibility. My multiplications of self-image hint at a nostalgic journey. My elements have a powerful dialect to be considered in the evolutionary process. My paintings render a bright instance of the coalesced sentiment of the artist. I am quiet positive in understanding my deficiencies. My works don’t have certain kinds of resolution, in many ways they remain insoluble.
