Gopal Samantray
Gopal Samantray
Born in the village of Adhanga in Orissa in 1976, artist Gopal Samantray completed his B.F.A and M.F.A from the B.K College of Art. His art juxtaposes human and animal worlds to help us viscerally experience the impact of reduced forest cover and the results of human intrusion on the habitats of animals.
In Samantray’s brilliantly surreal paintings, we have close encounters with roaring leopards sprawled on the couch, egrets preening in the living room and trees of ironbark; somewhere an eagle sits on a generator, elsewhere pigeons gather around bare stumps of trees. Part fantasy and part cautionary tale, his works blur the lines between cities and forests, homes and the wilderness, to allow us to see the world through the eyes of displaced animals.
In his own words, “The subject I deal with is of grave concern to every living being on this earth. My prime motto is to make people aware of the situation they are knowingly or unknowingly creating in their thirst for modernization. We are slowly tearing apart the one home we were gifted with.”
