Sunil Das was one of India’s most important post-modernist painters who worked mostly
dark and sombre colours practicing minimalism and worked through suggestions. The artist
was born in Kolkata and after finishing his degree in Kolkata in 1955, he won a French
Government Scholarship and went on to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
He experimented with different styles in painting and did not draw from photos or
models instead made sketches which he painstakingly developed through the colours and
shapes till the desired pattern was revealed. He exhibited great skill and integrity in his
paintings and often would paint using his palm and fingers instead of the pen and brush.
He hardly ever used loud or bright colours and the muted warm shades of soft brown,
mauve and white in the background brought about the drama of life. He practiced
minimalism and worked through suggestions. His major body of works is serigraph, conte,
oil on canvas using the mixed media of pen and brush creating
His portrayal of the human figure however bordered on macabre and women figures
came with mysterious tantalising eyes – all oil on canvas, often depicted the pressures
women were exposed to.
Going to Europe with the scholarship he travelled to Spain where he developed his love of
the horses and bulls and came to be identified more with his series on horses and bulls.
"e ;I must have done 7000 horses between 1950 to 60 “e; he says. & quote ;In 1962, I went to Spain,
where I was fascinated by the bull fights.”
