Jayanta Ghosal
KOLKATA • India
A contemporary painter from Bengal whose evocative works reflect the turmoil and tensions of modern urban life. Born in 1967 and raised in Kolkata, Ghosal’s early journey began with realistic neo-classical paintings before evolving into a deeply expressive, abstract style. His art captures the existential void and conflict inherent in post-globalised India, often blending melancholy with social commentary. Jayanta’s unique visual language—rooted in expressionist abstraction—makes his work a compelling reflection of resistance, introspection, and the human condition.
