“My works are about human beings, but I like to put them in their historical and social context”

Arup Das was a figurative painter and a acclaimed muralist. His themes revolved around the human beings within the socio-historical context. Easily at ease with any medium, he employed a wide variety of shades to depict his human figures. A recurring theme in Das’s paintings was the coming of Messiah with it’s message of eternal hope and ultimate salvation for mankind.

Das’s canvases are a judicious blend of ideas that are timeless but told in a language that is pertinent to our times. His human figurative are expressed stylized and have something monumental about it even when painted in a small format.
