That Night, A Forest Grew by Debosmita Samanta
An original painting by Debosmita Samanta.
This painting needs to be textured with the kind of analysis provided by the artist herself—so that any formal analysis in conjunction with a subjective reading of global and micropolitics perpetuates a sense of our connectedness to shared events and the precise nature of our relationship to others. This painting where Debosmita intervenes the four bloody red streets inward or outward, crossing over on the brilliant stage, might be a suggestion of a confined interior space embodied by women. The situation in this painting evokes the urge to be free. Within the drama of a catastrophic sky, the interplay of powerful popular characters, and elements of fantasy create the artist's unique mythological world at a crossroads of many lives of a human being.
