A Game of Order and Chaos
About Me
I'm partial to a gin and tonic
and I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Government College of Arts & Crafts, Kolkata
Susmit lives and works in Kolkata, India. He draws inspiration from many sources. Among these are the abandon of improvisation in music, the sensual and energetic charge of colour, the dialogue between stillness and movement.
His practice includes painting, digital images, virtual reality and videos. He has always enjoyed using technology to blur the lines between what you can and can’t do by hand. There is no use of ai- his processes remain deeply rooted in intuition, imagination and improvisation.
His art has been showcased in many solo and group exhibitions. He has also had collaborative performances with musicians. His pieces have been shown at Akar Prakar (Kolkata), the Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), the Portret Project (Delhi) and Gallery Manora (Bangalore) to name just a few venues.
Susmit has collectors of his works in America, France, England, Sweden and India

Biswas also has the developing artist's wandering and omnivorous eye for everything worth looking out for.
Biswas has a great need to express himself in colour and the fusion of the abstract and the figurative elements renders his paintings both agile and unrestrained.
Susmit Biswas constantly experiments with the fine line between imagery and abstraction which frequently results in a resonant balance, permeating his work with a sense of dynamism and vigour.
