About the artist

Alakesh Ghosh (b. 1950) has established himself as one of the most acclaimed painters to emerge from independent Bangladesh, part of a golden generation that came of age in the period following the country’s Liberation War. Born and brought up in a village in the northern district of Jamalpur, Alakesh’s body of work has always reflected his seminal attachment to the picturesque beauty of rural Bangladesh, even when he has bestowed his outsider sensibilities to depict the urban landscapes of the city he now calls home, Dhaka. Although proficient across various media, it is unquestionably his mastery of watercolour that sets Ghosh apart in the pantheon of great painters to have emerged from this region. Some say there is no better exponent of this ephemeral medium today than Alakesh, who himself feels he has given it too much of his time. His work in portraiture, always haunting, is another area in which his mark is likely to remain indelible. Alakesh Ghosh: Life and Works brings together the vast and varied output of this contemporary Master from Bangladesh in one volume, along with the famously reticent artist’s own thoughts and reflections. As such, it aims to present a clear and uniform view of both the artist and the man.
