Born in 1983, young upcoming artist Tonmoy Roy completed his MFA in Painting from the Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata in 2007. A winner of awards from college days, he has twice been selected as one of the promising contemporary artists at a prestigious art camp in Jodhpur.
His large vibrant canvasses are an expression of his love for folk and pop culture. He uses the living and colourful creatures of nature to express his belief that differing cultures can exist in the same place simultaneously, just as the themes of elephants and tigers are common both to the most rural art and the most sophisticated pop art.
