Kurchi Dasgupta
"In all my efforts, I have tried to recontextualise everyday reality
by drilling into the depths of the "sub" or "Ur" conscious,
and provide the viewer/participator with a new set of tools
with which s/he can perceive and interpret existence.
Painting, to me, represents more a journey into the "self" and its socio-politiical
location, than most other things. it is an effort to detect
and crystallize those common elements that form the basis of our selves,
transcending all borders.
I am currently working towards developing a more exact and laden
visual language that will help me recreate my perceptions
(of this very chaotic world and therefore, an equally troubled self)
for the viewer/participator in a more accessible and relevant manner."
