Born in Kolkata in 1939, he studied at the Government College of Art & Craft before earning a French Government scholarship to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he absorbed the abstract influences of the 1960s. Das’s works, often created with his palms and fingers, are celebrated for their intense physicality and emotional depth. His famed "Horse Series" and "Bull Series" capture raw movement and energy, while his later works sensitively explored themes of human relationships and women’s experiences. Over his career, Das held nearly 88 solo exhibitions worldwide, including at the Paris Biennale and major cities like New York, Tokyo, and São Paulo. His works are housed in important collections such as the National Gallery of Modern Art (New Delhi) and the Lalit Kala Akademi (New Delhi).

Ein Ausstellungskatalog des Künstlers Sunil Das mit dem Titel Confrontations Sunil Das 84, gesponsert von der ITC Jehangir Art Gallery, anlässlich einer Ausstellung vom 17. bis 24. Februar 1984, beinhaltet eine handschriftliche Widmung, die auf die persönliche Bekanntschaft des früheren Besitzers mit dem Künstler verweist - Minim. berieben, partiell etwas rest., gerahmt Sunil Das (1939-2015) zählt zu den herausragenden Vertretern der modernen indischen Kunst. Bekannt für seinen kraftvollen, expressionistischen Stil, schuf er dynamische Darstellungen von Pferden, Stieren und menschlichen Figuren. Geboren 1939 in Kolkata, studierte er am Government College of Art & Craft und erhielt später ein Stipendium der französischen Regierung, das ihm ein Studium an der École des Beaux-Arts in Paris ermöglichte. Dort ließ er sich von den abstrakten Strömungen der 1960er-Jahre inspirieren. Seine Werke, die er oft mit Händen und Fingern gestaltete, bestechen durch eine große körperliche Präsenz und emotionale Intensität. In seiner berühmten „Pferde-Serie“ und „Stier-Serie“ fängt er rohe Bewegung und unmittelbare Energie ein. In späteren Arbeiten widmete er sich sensibel Themen wie zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen und den Erfahrungen von Frauen. Im Laufe seiner Karriere zeigte Sunil Das seine Arbeiten in nahezu 88 Einzelausstellungen weltweit, unter anderem auf der Pariser Biennale sowie in Metropolen wie New York, Tokio und São Paulo. Werke von ihm befinden sich in bedeutenden Sammlungen, darunter die National Gallery of Modern Art (Neu-Delhi) und die Lalit Kala Akademi (Neu-Delhi).
SUNIL DAS (1939-2015) "LADY & HORSE" MIXED MEDIA ON PAPER, SIGNED BOTTOM LEFT & DATED 2002 29cm x 22cm Accompanied with a certificate of provenance from artists wife Mrs Gita Das, dated 26/07/19 Footnotes: Sunil Das, a prominent post-modernist figure in Indian art, has consistently defied artistic stagnation by embracing various styles throughout his career. Recognizing the weight of responsibility that accompanies his status as a celebrated painter, Das remains deeply committed to connecting with ordinary people emotions and the realities they face, particularly those at the grassroots level. Initially renowned for his extraordinary horse drawings, producing a staggering 7000 pieces between 1950 and 1960, Sunil Das underwent a transformation during a 1962 visit to Spain when he became enamoured with the electrifying world of bullfights Now in his sixties, Sunil Das reflects on his extensive career, marked by nine to ten distinct phases, each characterized by exceptional skill and unwavering integrity. He has fluidly transitioned from one artistic style to another throughout his artistic journey. Das creative process is a testament to his profound connection with the subject matter. He interprets and conceptualizes authentic feelings about reality, transmuting them in the crucible of his mind before expressing them on canvas. This artistic alchemy involves relentless exploration of colours and shapes until they converge into the desired composition, akin to a conductor harmonizing various instruments into a symphonic masterpiece. Sunil Das’s transformative journey took him to Europe on a French art scholarship, where he studied at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. A few months in Spain sparked his enduring passion for horses and bulls. Additionally, his artistic influences include his study of sculpture in Santiniketan, Kolkata, and graphic art in Paris. The resulting fusion of structural rigidity and depth from these influences is evident in his artworks. Sunil Das’s canvases transcend the physical attributes of his subjects, delving into their associative qualities. Although he occasionally portrays human figures, his depictions are often skewed, bordering on macabre surrealism. His series on women, particularly those with enigmatic, beguiling eyes, conveys a range of emotions, including the sensual, and underscores the societal pressures experienced by women. In his artistic palette, Sunil Das predominantly shuns vibrant or warm colours, opting instead for soft browns, mauves, and whites in the background to amplify the drama of life. His artistic ethos blends talent with tireless effort, relying on suggestion and minimalism to convey powerful messages. While his forms may appear surreal, they possess a morbid fascination, serving as a reflection on the inhumanity within humanity. Sunil Das achieved a remarkable feat by being the sole Indian artist to receive a National Award, the Shiromani Kala Puraskar, while still an undergraduate at the Government College of Art and Craft in Kolkata. His prolific career includes participation in numerous exhibitions, and his works are held in esteemed collections, including those of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, the Glenbarra Art Museum in Japan, and the Ludwig Museum in Germany.

Initially renowned for his extraordinary horse drawings, producing a staggering 7000 pieces between 1950 and 1960, Sunil Das underwent a transformation during a 1962 visit to Spain when he became enamoured with the electrifying world of bullfights Now in his sixties, Sunil Das reflects on his extensive career, marked by nine to ten distinct phases, each characterized by exceptional skill and unwavering integrity. He has fluidly transitioned from one artistic style to another throughout his artistic journey. Das creative process is a testament to his profound connection with the subject matter. He interprets and conceptualizes authentic feelings about reality, transmuting them in the crucible of his mind before expressing them on canvas. This artistic alchemy involves relentless exploration of colours and shapes until they converge into the desired composition, akin to a conductor harmonizing various instruments into a symphonic masterpiece. Sunil Das’s transformative journey took him to Europe on a French art scholarship, where he studied at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. A few months in Spain sparked his enduring passion for horses and bulls. Additionally, his artistic influences include his study of sculpture in Santiniketan, Kolkata, and graphic art in Paris. The resulting fusion of structural rigidity and depth from these influences is evident in his artworks. Sunil Das’s canvases transcend the physical attributes of his subjects, delving into their associative qualities. Although he occasionally portrays human figures, his depictions are often skewed, bordering on macabre surrealism. His series on women, particularly those with enigmatic, beguiling eyes, conveys a range of emotions, including the sensual, and underscores the societal pressures experienced by women. In his artistic palette, Sunil Das predominantly shuns vibrant or warm colours, opting instead for soft browns, mauves, and whites in the background to amplify the drama of life. His artistic ethos blends talent with tireless effort, relying on suggestion and minimalism to convey powerful messages. While his forms may appear surreal, they possess a morbid fascination, serving as a reflection on the inhumanity within humanity. Sunil Das achieved a remarkable feat by being the sole Indian artist to receive a National Award, the Shiromani Kala Puraskar, while still an undergraduate at the Government College of Art and Craft in Kolkata. His prolific career includes participation in numerous exhibitions, and his works are held in esteemed collections, including those of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, the Glenbarra Art Museum in Japan, and the Ludwig Museum in Germany.
