Art Speak
S
atadru Sovan Banduri is a
multi-disciplinary artist. Hispredominant interest in recent years
has been observation of multifarious
aspects of existence in a Metropolis
and portrayal of his impressions
through his work and the artist has
attained a vibrant stroke with his
multi-cultural and multi layered
new media works. At the same time,
he tries not to let his opinions get
reflected through his work as far as
possible. Infact, he almost always
introduces an element of humour
in his works so that they remain
incisive and insightful. So, in that
sense his paintings are a kind of
intimate, but third person views of
life in a metro. His work comes from
global cyberspace, social networking
and Phantasmatic visions of race
and gender. The artist has attempted
to showcase a segment of our society
that refuses to be generalised.
Consumerism consumes people’s
individuality and turns them into
larger than life entities. Satadru
reveals, “This visual culture would
confound and even overwhelm
someone who is not a part of the
urban milieu or has just recently
come to be a part of it. But closer
observation and certain amount
of empathy from the viewer would
reward him with interesting and
humorous insights into
human psyche.” TIHG
