Sudip Roy

Sudip Roy's strength lies in his realistic portrayal of the everyday things of life. He is inspired by the people and objects he sees around him. His style is such that he makes even an inanimate object look extremely sensual. His work is a celebration of our daily lives showing the ordinary things that one would normally overlook as routine and unimportant. Sudip works in both oil and watercolor. His control of shadows and light gives wonderful depth to his work, making it look extremely real.

Sudip graduated from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta in 1983. He has received several awards, including a Gold Medal from Sahitya Parishad, Calcutta in 1979 and an award from AIFACS, Delhi in 1991. He has presented his work as a soloist. He is an artist in several cities in India and has also participated in group exhibitions in India and abroad.
