Tapas Roy 塔帕斯.羅伊
​

Profile/CV

Tapas Roy is a self-taught artist, was born in a farmer's family in the Sundarban Delta of Bangladesh in 1971. It was during the war, genocide and ethnic cleansing by the Pakistan Military that killed millions and made several other millions to flee and take refuge in India. He was graduated in science and presently based in New Delhi, India. 
 
In his words, 'Unfortunately, since unborn and being in mother's womb, I witnessed and absorbed the horror of war in the form of sound, visuals and narratives. Consequently, perhaps it changed my life to be what I never dreamt of. I still dream of whirring warplanes bombing and flying like monster dragons, my family like million others sailing on the red watered rivers by boat, carrying along mutilated bodies amidst scream and whisper.
 
Social unrest, famine after the war, political instabilities etc made my formal education life short and perhaps the situations made me being an artist to have a media to express the anxiety and protest as a human.'
 
Tapas Roy drew great inspirations from west, specially from the artists like Alberto Buri, Antoni Tapies, Franz Kline. He delves into the world of rusty human emotions driven out of suffering and injustice. In recent years he has created metaphorical spaces with minimal yet strong lines and patches that speaks of socio-political chaos and oppression. 
 
His subjects often depict human figures, mostly distorted along with objects, tools and machineries that embody a sense of satire and present itself in the form of social dilemma. His abstracts and semi abstracts are monologues from the heart that aspires for reaching out to hearts and create dialogues.
