Chander Haat hosted ‘Ujjapon- The Celebration’, the first of its kind solo exhibit ion of the sculptures of Bhabatosh Sutar in India. The exhibition was inaugurated by Tapati Guha Thakurta - Honorary Professor Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. She also unveiled the book of Bhabatosh Sutar, “মাঠে ঘাটে শিল্প (Art on Ground Zero)” during the occasion. Distinguished artists and art connoisseurs of the city were present at the occasion at Chander Haat, Khudiram Pally, Sarsuna to witness the solo exhibition. The exhibition will offer 56 selected artworks on display which are compiled tastefully by the artist himself and will be open till April 10, 2022.
While explaining the thought behind the whole event Bhabatosh Sutar said “Ujjapon is a story which talks about the chronological events of origination to present-day situation. An attempt of creating a language for destiny. I truly believe that whatever knowledge I have earned, it has touched the marginal livelihood and experience of day-to-day life. My exploration of artwork in every sphere of Kolkata has given me immense confidence and master the art of survival. This is an effort of highlighting my journey of exploration. That is the reason of Ujjapon at Chander Haat. A parallel society has evolved around Chander Haat and my daily correspondence with lots of people from that society has helped me enhance the cycle of cultivating different qualities. This has helped me stand in the face of dominance and power. It’s just not the losing of roots of native land and moving to West Bengal for a new lease of life, Ujjapan talks about the reformation of life in its present form.”
Tapati Guha Thakurta said, “For any artist or art lover in India, Kolkata is one of the significant platforms where one would like to showcase one’s creations. Bhabatosh Sutar works can be seen as public art at different museums, in private collections and many other prominent places and every sculpture, paintings, installations tells a story of its own. This is his first solo exhibition not just in Kolkata but in India and it’s an honour for me to be a part of this occasion.
