Spiritual Abstraction

Realistic depiction of spiritual aspiration, instead of automated reflex translated in line and paint on canvases or papers, is what can be said to describe Dipak Banerjee and his art in its true essence. His art, as on view in this exhibition, always betrays a logical construction that is almost pre meditated and yet is organic in essence. His main pictorial attraction remains hidden in his intimate application of line and colour that firmly echoes the age-old brilliance of ‘miniature’ painting tradition.
