Description
Sunil Madhav Sen (1910 - 1979)
Watercolour on Paper
15 x 16.5 Inches
This work reflects how Sunil Madhav Sen merged folk ritual, local myth, and modernist structure into striking figures. Here, the crowned, mask-like face and bold patterns echo village depictions of legendary figures like Ravana — Lankeswara, or Lord of Lanka — a symbol that appears across Bengal’s folk masks and clay idols.
Sen, shaped by his childhood in Bankura and early memories of local idol-makers like Ananta Patua, often drew on these traditions. By the 1960s–70s, as a member of the Calcutta Group, he layered such folklore with Cubist geometry and raw outlines; a bridge between rural craft and global modernism.
