Sagnik Roy (b. 1998) is currently practicing a multi disciplinary medium and language. His artworks are not just a demonstration of competent application of paint but also offers a feeling of his homage to the subject matter. These area based works bear witness to his long-standing abstract landscape practice. His works are a metaphor or personification of nature itself. Structural forms, shapes, texture and surface are the chief parts of his works. He creates textures to map the architectural land through impasto brushstrokes and pigment. The texture develops layer by layer through continuous repair and erasure. The process of memory perception, identification and familiarization with textural bodies and eroded surfaces continue through tactile sensations. The landscapes depicted in his works do not bear witness to any particular known place or period in meteorological terms. These surfaces and objects are formed through uncertainty, absence and accidental playfulness. The textural body consists of unexplored tracts of land, smoky heaps, scorched surfaces, the construction and deconstruction of mundane and extraterrestrial worlds. His works create a lonely, quiet, rough or smooth place where time seems to stand still. Deserted, eroded surface, plateau, hill, dry branch, bark, rock, swamp - all give birth to old memories and emotions. Sagnik responds to the irresistible calls of his surroundings and hence they become the chief subject of his compositions. Instead of living objects, numb, inanimate objects that exist in space are a part of his visual dialogues. This very silence and solitude of nature is the soul of his works. Sagnik tries to evoke the inherent quality of light inside the melancholic chiaroscuro layer. Roy finds inspiration in Jibanananda Das's poems, and films of Tarkovsky, Miklos Jancso and Bergman. Their works make him feel the touch of a nebulous, ashy, dreamy, illusory surface in every moment of consciousness and subconsciousness. Sagnik wants his viewers to identify these unseen objects and forms, unknown to them, mysterious, symbolic where they can reconcile with his lonely, elusive fragments of memories.
