'VERSIFICATION OF LINE AND COLOUR'
Line is the forte of
Nabakishore's paintings. They swirl, surge, intertwine, even
retreat and move diagrammatically convering the pictorial space.
Nabakishore lets his pen or brush move on the paper freely. The
figures born out of those lines and of the exuberant colour
splashes have a naive charm about them. They show faces of a
next-door girl or of a folk deity and recall the images that we
see in folk art of rural Bengal. In his paintings, symboils
including the phallic ones create a primordial ambience. His
browns and yellows, red and greens trapped in the darkness make
up a rich fabric of forms.
Nabakishore is a self taught painter
who teaches Bengali language and literature in a college. his
knowledge of medieval Bengali poetry is simply reflected in the
images that he paints. As a painter, he recreates the world of
mythology and folklore in a visual language that seems unique.
