Suman Kabiraj was born in Suri, West Bengal. He has completed his Masters of visual Arts and Bachelor of Visual arts in Painting in 2006 and 2004 From Govt. college of Art & craft, Calcutta University. Now he is a full time practising artist, doing works with various mediums like Oil, Acrylic, Watercolours and Video Art. His works are being mounted in various Art Galleries of India.
Born in a semi-urban area,very close to village, he had the fortune of getting in close contact with the rural area-both spatially and psycho-spatially. Then he moved to Kolkata for his art education and since then he has been into the entrails of this megapolis. Such a geographical binary,and the tension within, have contributed largely to his painterly imagination. in more ways then one.
In fact, he loves to revel in the dangerous beauty of the binaries, Dream and reality, matter and void, light and darkness, he calls them dangerous because they have the ability to slip into each other's space rendering the so-called borderline in between deeply inane and superfluous. |
