Dhiren Sasmal is a meditative painter, amazingly skilful in his linear execution. He is an artist who sees the world through the eyes of children....whose reality is rooted in a magical universe of myth and fantasy. He considers this innocence to be the primary condition of any creativity. Sasmal applies his decades of experience in visual art and diverse mediums, to reinvent old beloved themes. The genius of this artist lies not only in his skill in linear execution and mastery over his media, but also in his transforming of a complex formal structure into a jubilant world of fantasy-oriented beauty.
