Aditya Basak

Aditya Basak was born in 1953 and graduated with first-class honours from the Government College of Arts and Crafts in 1977. He received the National Award for Painting in 1986. Basak's paintings possess an ethereal, otherworldly quality – both brooding and intellectual. The subtle colouring of his images takes one on an introspective journey, almost always juxtaposed with the realisation of the tangible universe.

Besides receiving the National Award for Painting from the Lalit Kala Akademi, Basak has earned numerous accolades and held solo exhibitions across the world. His collections are present all over India, the United States, Europe, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia.
