Companion

In Sen’s artistic evolution we can easily and frequently see a sort of dualism rooted in his very personality that tumbles into his paintings.

Being a French artist of Indian origin, this dualism creates the uniqueness of his creative language. In the “Companion” theme this dualism is particularly evident in the juxtaposition between man and woman, between the language of Gesturism Art and the influence of India’s “désordre”.
Colours burst out following bodylines in the painting called Immoderate. This painting offers us an immense beauty resulting from the artist’s inner reflection. The paintings included in this section have almost a photographic precision. They immortalize the eternal love between bodies touching each other, talking to each other, sighing at each other.

Verlaine, the friend of many Impressionists and musicians in the second part of the 19th century, has expressed, “A profound quiet descending from heavens, enlighten by stars: the sweetest hour.” He would certainly fall in love with Sen’s deep sensitivity and ability to capture “the sweetest hour.”

INDIA’S BLOODY INDEPENDENCEIN 1947

When India was partitioned 1947 to create Pakistan, a new country for Muslims, about 20 million people of Bengal and Punjab were displaced and brutally victimized. Sen’s wealthy, literate family had huge landed property in erstwhile East Bengal, the present Bangladesh, which was carved out to be East Pakistan for Muslims. So for being Hindus Sen’s family was overnight evicted from their home. Without taking any possessions, they fled for their lives amidst people warring over religion, and so became squatted refugees in West Bengal.
