Capturing the soul of a musician through folk style, which reminds us of Patua drawings and Jamini Roy's earlier work, the painting gradually redeems itself from the influences to enter the realm of abstraction. Inspired by rural life and Bengals' Patua artist traditions, Dutta’s work often reflects the native spirit, his observation of the locals and expressing the same with a revived style. The bold, dark figure against a light background draws immediate attention to the subject’s expressive eyes and rhythmic gestures, embodying the raw, unfiltered emotions of village performers. It celebrates the universal language of music and cultural heritage.
