Biography from Rogallery.com:
| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Sakti Burman was born in Calcutta in 1935. He studied art in
Calcutta and Paris. From the mid-50s, he has been living in
Paris. However, he has been visiting and exhibiting in India quite
regularly.
Sakti Burman's paintings weave myriad motfis culled
from imagination and reality into a filigree of dreamscapes. With
their soothing colors and rich textures these works combine the formal
and stylstic values of Renaissance and Baroque art with native Indian
myths and folklore. From the 1970s onwards Sakti's works display
a greater formal clarity.
Burman is a fine lithographer who can
achieve a range of tonal and textural variations. He has
illustrated several books such a collection of Mallarme's poems.
He has also published portfolios of his lithographs.
Burman's
images are steeped in romanticism and fantasy. Europe and India are
fused in his imagination. Exotic birds and blooms sprout from
unlikely places. Sensuously painted women loll about in a mythical or
oneiric landscape. The surface is usually textured like aging
frescos. |
