Home » Indian Artists » prokash-karmakar
A prominent artist of Kolkata, Prokash did not exhibit his works in galleries instead he exhibited on the corner of the streets due to which he was considered as revolutionary. His works capture the darkest moments of history some of which were very personal and was well known for nudes and landscapes which were painted in bright colors and bold brush strokes. Without reference to religion his work shows his perception of life and nature. He worked on acrylic and oil and tried other media like pastel, watercolor and ink. He died in 2014.
