Debasish Podder is a remarkable name in the world of creative art in contemporary Bengal. Born in 1976 in Kolkata, West Bengal, he is a self skilled painter.

Debasish’s drawings and paintings are straight, unyielding, inherent and massive in meaningful significance. He is a dissenter in his own world challenging hitherto imposed barriers and bondage of traditional Indian stylization of ideas and contemporary form of painting.

A lonely vagrant and trailblazer he treads alone with his passionate fanaticism and desirable urge and concern for social justice. Pain, passion, protest, dream and despair of our women have their full echo in his outstanding strokes of brush with different mingling of colors. That way he reaches straight into the hearts of those who can read words in colors’ and sketches. His aesthetical paintings are spell bounding also.

Female character is an central part of the living universe and nature is closest to him. Debasish in some of his recent works, recaptures this unending relationship with the soft use of timid yet bright and see-through color
