Foreword

Dream and the Divine

 

Artist Saumya Bandhopadhyaya stretches the boundaries of his imagination into a pictorial that encompasses love in all its diverse elements-of love that is eternal,  enduring and endless, of love  between man and woman , of love between the divine and the human , of love between mother and child .

 

The artists excellent skill at realistic figuration compliment his dreamscape vision of charming women and princely men, in a fictitious playground of beauty and fantasy. Here is a generous play of fiction, the divine self of lord Krishna amidst fantastical winged men and women , of cherubic children , angelic and blessed, all set to play a honest game of  love  and worship .

 

The paradox of elements within the frame creates interest. The highly realistic human forms set in an illusory world, defying gravity, invent a certain lightness from the humdrum everyday day life. The sensuality of the human form pitted against the iconic image of the lord Krishna is another contradiction that calls forth a possibility of the unlikely coming together, as in life. Only the strong bonds of love are the  basic rudiments that seem to sustain all these differences .
