Artist's Profile
|
 |
| Prakash Karmakar |
|
Born in 1933, Prakash came from an artistic background and his figurative paintings, which are influenced by the works of Picasso, sometimes radiate a calm, poetic exuberance & at other times, reflect the upheavals & turmoils of modern life. His women as well as his landscapes or seascapes, are full- bodied & luscious, with an ethereal quality.
Karmakar used to hold street exhibitions as a young artist in which people started to take notice of his talent and this catapulted him to success. He formed the Society of Contemporary Artists in 1961. In 1969-70, he went to study Art in France on a Fellowship.
In 1970, he received the Rabindra Bharati University Award. In 1976, the Birla Academy Award and the Abinendra Puraskar Award in 2000
On account of carving his unique niche in the art world and winning a lot of recognition and accolades, Prakash Karmakars work is always in demand by Indian and International collectors.
