Series: WANDERLUST

Discovering the unknown

As in his life, so in his paintings, you can sense Sen’s strong desire to explore the wanderlust of his mind through a profusion of colours. In this series themed “Wanderlust”, Sen impulsively wanders inside the soul of every living creature that he has lovingly arrested through his imagination. He believes that women have intense connect with all breathing beings of the universe. So he portrays women’s desire to experience wanderlust by taking ownership of the lives of different creatures through colour proximity.

Women, in this shifting universe, appear as intermediaries of a profusion of energies. Lovingly bound to the elements, they merge with the material world, absorbing the breaths of the wind, the tremors of the earth, the changing reflections of the water. They are both silence and cry, secret and revelation.

Sen, in his pictorial gesture, does not seek to choose between the abstract and the figurative; he juxtaposes them, intertwines them in a vibrant dance where anything becomes possible. The desire to capture the very essence of these creatures draws him ever further, into a space where forms metamorphose, where color becomes language, where the infinitesimal meets the infinite.

Sen also juxtaposes contrasting images of animals in the wild with tender touches of delicate living beings. In the “Wanderlust” series of abstract paintings with hidden figuratives, you will discover in an abundance   of colour what makes the earth’s creatures tick.  

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.
