Nandan Purkayastha’s artwork brilliantly encapsulates the essence of human connection through its mesmerising interplay of creative forms, expressions in a quasi realistic way and intricate line work. The composition, featuring a dynamic interaction between two figures, is enriched by expressive eyes and swirling patterns. Contours play a key role in his work, merging traditional western comics, diverse sojourns and modernist influences with reality, where each curve and loop maintains a pace. Inspired by Bengali recital and mythic tales, its textured surface and harmonious blend of abstraction highlight the artist's creativity and understanding of human emotions.
