INTO THE DARKNESS
Artist Name
Dr.Shivam Chakraborty
Artist Statement
I am a self-taught artist and a pathologist by profession. I paint because I feel a deep psychological compulsion to do so. My paintings primarily depict images I see in my imagination. I believe this stems from a deep-seated psychological process that remains unknown to me. My art mainly explores the dark, bizarre, and the macabre. There are also elements of beauty in my works.My themes often delve into the violent and surreal dimensions of the human condition.
Exhibition Statement
This exhibition delves into the dark and macabre dimensions of the human condition through surrealism. Using acrylics and oil pastels on paper, I express images drawn from my subconscious. The complex, mysterious, and bleak depths of feminine (and human) existence are explored in these works. They reflect the symbiotic coexistence of beauty, torment, and decay in our existence that lie beneath the superficial veneer of razzmatazz.
