Andakulova Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Abstract reality, a solo showcase by distinguished Indian painter Silajit Gosh, presented in collaboration with Indian Master Painters. The exhibition will run from 5 December 2025 to 10 January 2026, with the opening reception taking place on 5 December 2025 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Andakulova Gallery, DIFC.

Born in 1959 in Kolkata, West Bengal, Silajit Gosh stands apart through his deeply spiritual and sensory approach to painting. A lifelong lover of poetry and music, Silajit integrates rhythm, vibration, and emotional harmony into his works. His paintings are known for their melodious movement, vibrant colours, and a spiritual energy that resonates profoundly with viewers.

For over forty-five years, Silajit has followed an intense daily routine rooted in yogic discipline practising hatha-yoga, pranayama, breathwork, and spending time in nature from 4:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This commitment has transformed him into a powerhouse of focus, intuition, and creativity. His artistic process is akin to a meditative trance, where every stroke reflects a deep, divine connection.

Silajit’s paintings explore the essence of reality rather than its literal representation. His dynamic use of colour — from powerful blacks reminiscent of Vantablack to lyrical reds symbolising love and energy, to blues conveying serenity and depth — evokes emotions rather than depictions. His works feel like waves, each with its own rhythm and spiritual undertone, capturing vitality, positivity, and a profound sense of harmony.

Silajit has received numerous awards and honourable mentions between 1994 and 2000 from esteemed institutions such as:

  • West Bengal State Fine Art Council.

  • Birla Academy of Art and Culture.

  • Lalit Kala Academy.

His solo exhibitions have been reviewed in major Indian publications including Art India, Desh, Anandabazar Patrika, The telegraph, Times of India, The economic times, The statesman, and more. His works also appear in important collections in India and internationally, including Agora Gallery (New York), Saatchiart, and Artsy.
