Surajit Biswas
I propose “the visualization of vibratory space charged with forms” as the portrait of my evolving practice. I treat the field of day-to- day sound as a sight for inquiry, debate, play and illumination. My drawing-base space of works is figurative as well as non-figurative, often oriented around the physical and metaphysical sensations to understand the melody of life. The
subject matter of my works actually germinates from my experience of my daily life activities, situations and expressions that creates a ground for my self-realization. I like to capture the life, the movement and the rhythm i,e. cycles of sound waves created by elements of universe through visual language. I like to give my works a microscopic surface treatment with composite use of minute details which seems abstract but exude life’s inherent cycle of movement and stillness i,e eternal. I like to expand my creation, as in experimental works also, in terms of material and space compatible with contemporary time.
Initially my focus was to create the figures and gestures of my paintings with vivid detailing but gradually the propensity take a bent towards the creation of an atmospheric appearance or a
sense of holistic approach. I have realized that creation of an ambience is far more important than of the minute detailing to get the inner expression of the work. As for example, at present
I am dealing with the subjects like a flute player but my focus is to grasp the sound waves created by the flute. In the Mahabharata, we found Lord Krishna has announced the starting of the Kurukshetra war with the sound of his conch shell. Likewise, probably a common human being announced of the war or struggle for existence through the flute. I have tried to juxtapose these mundane and mythological expressions metaphorically or try to capture metaphorical sound cape . My sole focus is to grasp the particles and pixilation of the waves
that is possible in scientific dissection.
My practice evolved to embrace the multiplicity of forms and engagements with 3D materials to embody a passionate response to the intimate and mutually replenishing relationship between the space, form and the sound.
