About Nabakishore Chanda
For Nabakishore Chanda, painting is the spontaneous expression of the creative impulse within him. A self trained artist, this latent ability was unleashed one fine day, when he was urged by a friend to complete a painting he was casually working on. From then on, Nabakishore began his rendition of beautiful, mythopoeic painting dominated by lines and colours.
Born in 1964 on 4th January in a remote village of West Bengal, his emergence as an artist was not very easy as from childhood itself he had to fight against tremendous financial odds. Today he is a senior lecturer in a South Kolkata college and also a budding name in the field of painting. He has earned accolades from renowned artists and has many exhibitions to his credit. He has also designed covers of books and his work has recently been used in a documentary on Shakti Chattopadhyay.

'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.
