Is it necessary for an artist,
established in his own chosen medium, to remain confined
to that medium for expressing his creative urges? This
was the question posed by Mr. Amitabh Sengupta, an eminent
artist from Kolkata, known for his paintings in India
and abroad, before a select gathering at Bangalore International
Centre on 6th November, 2007 at 6 PM. He provided his
own answer by reciting a few poems penned by him and
by screening a few images he has filmed to give expression
to his creative urges in mediums other than painting.
The thoroughly enjoyable interactive session was presided
over by Mr. G Jayakumar, Head of the Dept. of Visual
Arts, Bangalore University and attended by several artists,
like Mr. S G Vasudev and art-lovers.
