Asit Kumar Patnaik, M.F.A. in painting (gold medalist) from B.H..U.,
Varanasi. He has participated in several solo and major group shows in
India and abroad. He was also part of a selected group of artistes
invited by the President of India to partake in a special exhibition
held at Rashtrapati Bhawan. His couple series embody mysterious
‘relations’ between well built male and voluptuous female; often the duo
is shown coupled with bondages. A strong semi naturalistic rendering in
acrylic medium can be seen, which generates volume to his monochromatic
figures.
