Biografia
“A conscientious artist who wishes to highlight and address issues relevant to
our times through his art, Anirban Sheth also comes across as a man of exceptional
creative talent. Continuous experimentation with the medium of art has led him to
master the art of Painting on ‘Leather’ and ‘Vellum’, a surface demanding a
high degree of expertise end technical perfection for colours to be applied and
remain clearly visible.. Done by tanning raw hide and then painting on it, Seth
uses the tips of his fingers as a brush, smearing colour on leather to create images
from life aid nature, spirituality and rationality. Often embellishing his art with
gold and silver foil, he generates startling visual effects, portraying natural beauty
and emotional experiences with equal ease. Seth’s innovations on texture also
include batik work and stenciling for embossing and relief effects, creating a
unique pictorial language. His works is a splendid tribute to this painstaking yet
immensely pleasing mode of expression in which he excels.”
