Comments about the artist :
Feelings-1 Photorealism is so that it’s coming out of yours ears, right? But then, what to do? It’s in vogue. However, while most photo realist Purnendu-Mandals have chosen to stick to tried and tested, safe, high art formulae, there are some surprises that do spring up every now and then. Purnendu Mandal might just be one such surprise. We don’t know that yet. But there is some promise to paper rockets in outer space and local boys and men thrown in for good measure in the midst of this cosmos. We suggest you try.
