Lalu Prosad Shaw

Lalu Prosad Shaw is an artist in printmaking as well as tempera painting. In printmaking, the artist expresses his modernity, both in terms of technique and imagery. His imagery is taken from every day life depicting simple objects and events. In his small-sized tempera paintings, one notices stylistic elements derived from the 19th century Company School painting and the Kalighat pata painting tradition. His single figures and still lifes are done in a style which is very indigenous and yet, very sophisticated.
