Chandra (b. 1960) graduated from the Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship with a first class and was conferred the Gold Medal for Excellence in Fine Arts by Rabindra Bharati University in 1986. He received the Taj Gaurav award in 2008 and was honoured by the President of India as artist-in-residence at The Rashtrapati Bhavan in November 2020. He started his career as a billboard artist and subsequently did a stint as a graphic designer with The Economic Times. Chandra’s works are imbued with his environment and his responses to it. Discomfiting undercurrents belie the apparent calmness of his canvas. His medium is entirely visual, his language eloquently unspoken. Being a figurative painter, his subject is usually the human being. Through a facial expression or a position, he seeks to interact with them and explain their essence. At times he gets uncomfortably close to his subject, creating a physical tension for the viewer. Many of his works engage with deceptions in everyday life. ‘We think we are making independent choices but even our most basic decisions are a consequence of our conditioning. It is a charade of freedom,’ says Chandra. He has held 17 solo shows so far and been a part of numerous national and international art workshops, art fairs and curated group expositions. He lives and works in Kolkata. Amitabh Bachchan is widely accepted as a monolith of cinema, at times spilling to mirror society at large. Despite being loudly reminded of his flaws and errors, his much-chronicled political, personal, financial, health and film career related toils and troubles, he remains a ‘hero,’ a baritone, a persona. That hard bubble remains even though he at times seems to aspire to be a common man, rather poignantly interacting with people on their individual terms on the various media available. Even as I can’t help but cast him in this demi-god light, I also think of the essential Amitabh, a person like you or me, whose life is as much a chiaroscuro of dark and light, maybe surreal because of its scale. My painting is a metaphor for that stardust realm of this human, flitting between greys that break out into a radiance that’s rare to come by in this world.
