It was with great delight that Little Artists welcomed Shri Jatin Das, one of the top contemporary painters in India, to our studio on Apr 29, 2007.

The multi-faceted Jatin Das has been a part of the Indian art scene for more than four decades, with his paintings, murals and sculptures. The human body holds an endless fascination for him and he pursues his quest for dynamic figures tirelessly, using a linear structure and quick brushwork.

Jatin Das, one of the most prolific figurative painters, is also a graphic artist, sculptor, muralist and a poet. He was born in 1941 in Mayurbhanj, Orissa. Jatin studied painting at Sir J J School of Art in Bombay (1957-62). Since he finished his art education, he has been participating in all important national and international art exhibitions, namely the Biennales in Paris (1971), and in Venice (1978) and the Documenta in Kessel (1975).

Between 1965 and 1991, he participated in 37 solo shows, national and international, resenting a revealing retrospective sponsored by the ITC at the Lalit Kala Gallery in 199 1. He attended 2 artists’ camps (1974-89), four workshops and offered his works at 14 charity shows all over India. Fourteen limited editions of his theme-based graphics and conte drawings have been published in India, Germany and U.K.

Shri Jatin Das lives and works in New Delhi.
