Abhijit is an Indian Pop Art artist from Kolkata whose work is shaped by the city’s layered history, changing urban life, and rich visual culture. Born and raised in North Kolkata, he grew up among colonial buildings, narrow lanes, temples, mosques, rickshaws, trams, and the artistic traditions of Kumortuly. Coming from a family of artists, he was also influenced by the work of his father, grandfather, and uncles from an early age.

His paintings reflect the transformation of Kolkata from an old colonial city into a modern metropolis. The fading grandeur of British-era architecture, the changing habits of city life, and the mix of tradition and modernity have become central to his Urban Landscapes series. Through colour, form, structure, and memory, he captures the energy and tension of a city in transition.

Abhijit’s work also explores human relationships, desire, identity, and power. Female figures often occupy a strong presence in his paintings, where they appear as symbols of strength, mystery, creation, and transformation. His art reflects the tension between female power and male vulnerability, while also engaging with broader questions of society, politics, and human feeling.

His practice draws on Indian miniature traditions, Thangka painting, and tempera techniques using mineral colours. These methods connect his contemporary themes with older visual languages, allowing his paintings to move between the personal, the social, and the mythological. Through this blend of tradition and modern expression, Abhijit creates works that speak of place, change, power, vulnerability, and survival.
