I am very impressed with the accomplishment with the works of Bikash Bhattacharjee. What I am so impressed with the cultural relevance he managed to mantain over the years.

To see his migration in methodoligy of his work and the transformational soffistication taking the message, or reflecting the images of his culture.

Thanks for posting this as it gave me an opportunuty to see a little beyond the windows of my own limited world.

I would like to place a few pieces of my own work (if I can ever figure out how to do it) Please feel free to comment and send feed back. I will try to be as objective as I know I ought be.

I exist simply because I do.

The context of your understanding my existence is irrelevant, because if all you description should fail, and you theories perish,

I exist anyway. I am spirit.

And who will give an ear when the sound is not pleasant and who will look when the sight is not gainly? But the artist must plod on by virtue of this task.

Who will lend a gentle hand to his survival, who will buy his wares? Will you stand by beloved, and see the voice of your own redemption perish. Or will you laugh at the calamity you perceive to be his only, not realizing your own existence is at stake.

I am he who stands before the great divide, arms outwardly stretched, encompassing the spirit of all things. I am the eyes of heaven, I am the soul in your own heart. I come through you but not from you.

I stand with a thousand generations, as if but yesterday. I am the he who walks with you in the hour of your great darkness. I am he who stands with you in the second of you triumph. Rejoice today, I am yet alive this day.

What is a master piece? For today's trash is tomorrow's treasures. It wasn't long ago artists were peddling their paintings for a small bag of food. Paintings that were consigned to the dump are now being celebrated as great works of are, valued at millions.

For the ways of man are astounding childish. He has constantly tried to place himself at the center of attention. His tools are quite fundamental: Value, Image, perception, these are constantly flowing out of his nature; power, greed, purpose, fear.

The artist as an agent of the spirit must constantly strive to live beyond these distractions. Distractions which are destined to derail him from his wholesome purpose, which is be a vehicle of change to the visible world.

Beautifully put!
The question is then, can the individual determine the point at which they become enlighten, in so doing have a say in the quality of art produced, or are humans subjected totally to the process of enlightment?

It is my belief our scientific langauge used to define the process of awaken has become very limited. In most cases is responsible for the blockage of our spiritual evolution, as it constantanly seeks to frame observations of the truth within the framework of its own limitations.

The enlighten incarnate must be equiped not only to illuminate the path, but must do so with a magnitude of light that has never been experienced on this planet. I am in awe just to imagine what form and magnitude this will take.

For me this spiritual search is moreso art than aesthetic imperatives, as a matter of fact the source of art. As we grapple with the issues of beauty, form, and meaning from an artistic perspective. The unbiased observer will see a larger meaning.

Who qualifies as an unbiased observer vs. aesthetic pundit is irrelivant at this point. The virtues of this soul journey with all its twists and turns is itself validation in itself, because in the end it is all about the light.

An artist creates art when his mind which reflects the workings of the neural networks, chemical & hormonal systems in the brain combines with the soul to reach a state of enlightenment.Turmoil precedes this state. So adversities are the machines that create these gems because without confusion & turmoil, minds cannot reach enlightenment. Only an enlightened person can create master pieces. Others create simple decorative pieces. There is a lot of difference between these two types of art.

I was never aware of the number artist and similarity of approach to art in the western tradition, if there is such a thing. Bikash Bhattacharjee's work is no exception to those of modern masters which I am aware of.

I am thankful to stumble upon this site, albeit quite by accident, which is turning out to be quite and education for me. As we evolve as a species we are discovering how close we are in every way though separated by thousands of miles and different cultures.

For me the story of Art is a story of the human experience, it is the language of the spirit. This includes all forms of art, whether it be drawing, dance, or music. The reason why art is so universal is simply because it is the silver lining that runs in the veins and spirit of all humanity. Our definitions may change depending on the epoch and the culture, but the message has and will always remain the same.

There is a message being transmitted in art, which is relevant upon the instantaneous point of reference, and when examined over a more significant period of time. That message is conjoined to that of a mirror. In the days of old the artist was in fact the shaman, the witch doctor, sear, if you will. Now artists are regulated to individuals who produce beautiful ornaments, with very little utility, except the aesthetics. "Practical thinking" based on the social norms almost demands a disrespectful attitude towards the artist. He is deemed a dreamer with no real contribution to society.

We are coming upon an epoch, once again where the descerning eyes will see a larger truth in the progeneration of works coming from artist. This will speak volumes about the condition of our collective experience and speak to the state of our larger evolution as a species.

The artist is indeed the spiritual eyes of man. He was the aspect of man that brought the unseen world into the visible world. He currently passes under many titles, the dreamer, the creator, inventor, architect, visionary or simply the artist. In essence the names are all the same, just different ways of man understanding what he is dealing with, and as customary applying social tags to help him (man) feel safe.

Man is in essence a spiritual being, wrestling with his physical condition. The transitory state of his understanding is the real issue, not his true reality. The true reality when understood will be self evident. So until then we must discuss, and grapple with the nuances of art, simple because we need to occupy or challenge our rational awareness during the process of evolution. It would only be a tragedy if we continuously fail to see the big picture on this planetary journey and fail to discover our individual place at any point in time within the scheme of things.

"Just Enjoy art with me..”


It is my only message to my all artist friend and art lover and all art visitor .
Some one ask to me why I am saying this message to all again and again..?
I want to say about it art mean is just for refreshment of mind , heart and body so why I am not tell to all this message “JUST ENJOY ART WITH ME..”
I have master in Fine Art and I have read lots of art text and art history by book and by art work visuals. and I find a one message from all art history and art visuals “Art Just for Enjoy ”but its very must if we know , what we are enjoy from our self.
I think on the word of ENJOY and I find some logic ,hereI want to share it .enjoy is a matter of inner sound of Human body, its start from a mind vision and by inner requirement of human body. I find the real mean of enjoy. It is self satisfaction from every where but when, then our Inner requirement is demanding of us.
The life live always practical and we can’t leave this life its fact. In that cash we face lots of trouble and pain of mind , body ,and in heart .its result is we face depression, sadness, mentally tired And practical life will not stop it for us. it will create it for us again and again.
So a one question is start where we go for feel free and feel light form inner side of mind and body its answer is one and only “ART ”
I think about art . art is a very big dust been it can accept your all inner zik- zek (puzzle)condition , sadness and unwanted pain of practical life.
‘ART ” the mean of wild space for full peace with full freedom. Art have the process of give and take. Art always giving the peace and freedom of heart and taking the pain of heart and pain of practical life.
“ART “ it is a journey of peace and its start from the artist, A Artist feel some Zik-Zak and some good feeling in inner side of mind and body then he create some , after visit that we are saying it is Art but actually that is activity of inner sound by some medium of earth for get freedom of inner sound by expression of artist . Artist feel Free After Express his inner motion activity by his self and after that Art is doing Start the journey in society with same process of give and take. In our human society every one are can’t express his inner sound by other medium of this earth because they are weak to mind and they don’t know how to express inner sound. They are full pack from practical life they have no time for express his /her inner sound so where they go for feel freedom and enjoy. The Art invite him and her with his /her inner pain and trouble of practical life. basically in our society we can see the art definition in visuals ,text and music. And a great art master BHART MUNI define it in a Theater and Dram in INDIA. That Theater have a new look by technology and to day we are saying it Cinema. It’s have all three art presentation in a one frame. It’s part of visual art. Some artist express his inner sound by line & color on space we are saying to that is painting(I am painter) and some one create form stone & metal with three dimension we are saying that is sculpture .its all art creation is part of visual art. Some people express his inner sound by text we are saying to him and her they are writer but A Indian philosopher Dr. Haridwari prasad Shastri have told the text is a also drawing of inner sound so we are express our inner sound with symbol by text(Drawing) and society communicate it by his /herself. Music its very freedom full medium of artist. It’s base on self sound of body with inner sound. it’s not want any medium of earth. Only music can touch your inner sound without any medium direct heart to heart.
Artist have leaved the creation of expression in society and his art invite to all the society just catch and observe the sound of art by his/her sensors in that cash they are forget his and her practical life and inner pain that’s all. It’s the real target of Art in our society. A common man when visit and listen any form of art that time his mind just think only his visit and listening topic in that moment art have done start the work of take the pain of visitor and listener, after visited the cinema , painting exhibition he feel very light because he forget his past condition before the art visit ,he had forget all and enjoy the art visuals , cinema and some music track….in his practical life time. its very tuff but art can do it in all condition. It’s art power because its very pure sound of human inner sound.
So tell me why I am not say this line to my all art lovers , visitors and to common art visitors ..JUST ENJOY ART WITH ME….! ha..
