Bishal Nath is an ingenious artist beyond the exquisite imagination of the curatorial mind. Hailing from the Seven Sisters States of the North East of India, his novel technique involves an extravagant vibrance of color finely polished onto the canvas which carousels the mind onto a ride of the visual senses.
Nath’s virtuosity is a beautiful adaptation of concepts inspired by the wisdom of Ancient India brought together with an underlying theme of universal truth and spirituality. His art, a delightful gratification to the senses, reverberates positive vibrations throughout the artistic experience. Even the dismal elements of his work are portrayed with alternative meaning to inspire hope that can lead to positive change.
His art has been displayed at several prominent art festivals around the world including the world’s oldest and highly celebrated Italy International Art Festival. The greatest feather in his cap was being selected to represent India out of 50 internationally acclaimed artists whose artwork was displayed at the Quirinal Palace of Italy, the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic, the highest honour for any artist.
Nath’s debut as a writer and director for the short film, 'Confession of a Terrorist', landed a spot at the renowned Cannes film festival in the category of Court Métrage and was screened at several prominent international film festivals around the world. His current work as director and co-writer of the animated short film, 'Village of Joy', is based on a series of his unique charcoal drawings and is currently in post-production, being produced by India’s oldest and leading film production company established in 1948.
An adventurous travelling lifestyle with a passion for knowing the untold stories of unique places and people, an epicurean fondness for recreating varied local delicacies, and the mystical curiosity of a spiritual seeker inspire Bishal’s varied creative endeavors.
The brilliance of Bishal Nath’s work cannot be attributed merely to his skills as an artist but to his passion for experiencing the present to the zenith of human consciousness and to his dedication to excel at any undertaking with utmost compassion and thoughtfulness. His human personage and zest for life elevate his work to a supreme amalgamation of human emotion, experience, art form, and colour.
