STYLE


Dharmanarayan Dasgupta in his lifetime remained almost entirely within the fold of the Calcutta art world, where he found his foothold. By the late 70`s, he had evoked a style by which he came to be known, where the prime medium he worked with was a special genre of egg tempera on canvas, using a mouth spray for finishing effect. A recognizable repertoire of characters and scenes animated his compositions with jocularity, mischief and satire seen in corpulent babus, buxom ladies and later on, an array of detached heads and tubular limbs that disturbingly glow out of still life objects.
