Asit Roy walked into the studio of ace sculptor Kiran Dixit and his life
changed forever. His roots in art go deep. His grandfather a weaver from Dumka
was invited by Vishwa Bharati University (VBU) to assist in weaving at “Shilpa
Sadan” Santiniketan His father was an assistant in the sculpture Department of
Kala Bhavan. A tribute art exhibitionof drawings and sculptures made by late
artist Mr. Asit Roy will showcase at Jehangir art gallery, M.G. Road, Kala
Ghoda, Mumbai from 29th March to 4th
April 2022, 11 am to 7 pm. It will present his drawings in Watercolors, pen and
ink on paper and sculptures in mix media, terracotta and metals.
“Asit came to help me with mold making, his
work impressed me. Urged him to study art, but his parents couldn’t afford
it. I decided to sponsor his studies and
be his foster mother as well, as he was having problems at home” recounts Kiran
Dixit. He then did his diploma in
sculptures at Kala Bhavan VBU, an advanced diploma in sculptures at Chitra Kala
Parishad, Bangalore and B.V.A. in fine arts at Birla Academy of fine arts,
Kolkata. He had earlier displayed his work in a group show at Nandan Kala
Bhavan Kolkata in their annual show, Mulk Raj Gallery, New Delhi and Academy of
fine art, Kolkata. His 2 works are in the private collection of reputed art collectors.
His drawings , sculptures transform everyday life objects and situations into art.
The Chaiwala, Khowai, Balloonwala, Cats, pet animals express how his mind’s
eyes absorbed it all. His works often reveal his innate sense of composition.
What is most adorable and amazing in each art work is the simplicity of
compositional skill and apt presentation of the desired visual effects. Oxygen
cylinder, Santhal Dancers, Facebook series, Railway station and more are social commentaries of the times we
live in.
It is hoped with optimism that this
presentation will receive good response and appreciation from the present art
fraternity. It will be a befitting tribute to the departed soul of Asit Roy.
