Dipto Narayan Chattopadhyay
West Bengal is a land of creative expressions which has produced men of artistic excellence and creative genius. Dipto Narayan Chattopadhyay is an exponent of that land.A highly decorated artist both nationally and internationally. Dipto has proved his artistic merit all over the globe. His brushstrokes convey a different dialect of vivacious imaginations. He is perfectly at home in realistic works where he exhibits exceptional skills of a perfectionist verging on photo-realism. When he turns to fantasy or abstract themes he lets his imagination run wild and pushes surrealism to a new level. Dipto’s mixed media creations are exclusive in the sense that he adds the third dimension to two-dimension by creating a relief on the surface, like brickwork. Presently a research scholar with “Raja Mansingh Tomar University” Gwalior, Dipto has done masters in Fine Arts with distinction from ‘Jiwaji University’ Gwalior and bachelors in Visual Arts from ‘Rabindra Bharati University’ Kolkata. He has experienced the art arena as an artist, curator, critic and most importantly above all as an astounding humanist. He has worked selflessly for the Save Child Fund of Ramkrishna Mission for seven years, inspired and curated an exhibition involving the Tihar Jail. Dipto’s illustrations are in the translated version [Romanian] of Ignited Minds authored by H.E.Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam and his paintings adorn H.E.Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam’s personal collection.
