.........In the context of contemporary modernism in Indian art, Debasish Podder belongs to a genre of painting that reached its pinnacle in this new age. He has achieved many remarkable awards and his works are brought by collectors In India & abroad.
His versatility comes somewhat from the assorted resources he works with and partly from the suppleness and encrusted richness of his visual language. The consummate ease with which he does this today is almost phenomenal but it is the outcome of long years of enquiry as an artist into the syntactical structure of representational convention. His drawing and painting, however, do not bear that imprint of style. Nor are they suggestive of any association with any other familiar art genus. Being a self skilled artist, he has made his individual stylization of his art and that makes his painting exclusive.
Woman, Imagination, Nature, Dreams, Anticipation have added to his paintings poetry . Search after search Debasish has delved deep into his finger senses to visualize these on the canvas, to bequeath an artistic interpretation. In his artistic elucidation, there is passion. There is also extreme restiveness, which often shelter the illusion of peace & happiness. Above all, his paintings instance to instance, brings alive the poet in his art.
