ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Calcutta in 1935, Sakti Burman studied at the Government School of Arts and Crafts in Calcutta and later at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Burman uses pointillism and a marbling technique achieved by mixing oils with acrylics to create fresco-like works on paper and canvas. Burman's paintings often evoke a surreal feel, referencing multiplicities of time and place. Her art drew heavily on Hindu and European mythology, as well as the artist's own memories. Her paintings, which suggest surrealism, are populated with humans, animals, and dreamlike cityscapes. Her defining work owes much to her marbling technique, which she arrived at after years of experimentation. Burman traveled to Italy in 1958 and her encounter with the frescoes of Giotto, Piero de la Francesca, and Simone Martini inspired him to assimilate her monumentality and textures in her works.

The artist had his first solo exhibition in 1954 in Calcutta and has since exhibited widely around the world, including in places such as the Galerie des Beaux-Arts, the Piccadilly Gallery in Paris, the Galerie Doucet et Coutureau in London, the Galleria Nuovo Sagittario of Paris, Milan and the Galerie Sagar. , Zurich.

Burman has participated in several exhibitions, some of the most recent include The Beholders Share by Jehangir Art Gallery and Art Musings in Mumbai in 2016 A Private Universe by Art Alive Gallery in New Delhi in 2015 Rituals and Reasons Invoking the Sensual in Art, in Apparao Galleries in Chennai in 2014 The Wonder of it All, a retrospective exhibition by Pundole Art Gallery and Apparao Galleries in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai in 2012, Archetype and Enraputured Gaze at Aicon Gallery in London and New York in 2009 Faces of Indian Art organized by Art Alive at Visual Art Gallery, New Delhi Understanding Oneness in Diversity at Kitab Mahal, Mumbai An Evening in Paris Rome London at Gallery Sanskriti, Kolkata, and Resonance organized by Art Musings at Museum Gallery, Mumbai, all in 2007 Burman received the Medaille dArgent au Salon de Montmorency and the Prix des Etrangers, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris in 1956.
