Series: INNOCENT WARMTH

Union of tenderness

In his work, Sen seeks to transcend the appearance of reality to reach a deeper truth, buried in the human soul. He draws a parallel between the sheep, a symbol of warmth and protection from the cold, and the woman.

All women of the world have an inherent warmth in three ways, protective mother, warmth for sexuality and warmth towards the society.  This woman and animal warmth inspired Sen to make a series of paintings to express different motifs of warmth with different types of sheep and women of the world. His expression is to bring a close proximity between the spiritual warmth of human beings and animals.

By bringing the sheep closer to the woman, Sen invites us to perceive the union of vital forces, a fragile balance between need and the absolute, between the tangible and the invisible.

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.
