Pintu Sikder

Pintu Sikder, a Kolkata based artist of humble origins is very low key and understated. Using the simple brass nut as his medium, he makes sculptures of amazing strength and beauty. This young artist's work comes across as industrial, raw and powerful. Clay, plaster of Paris, brass nuts, gas welding – Pintu combines all these techniques to produce a finished product of striking reality.

Uncontrolled urbanization, industrialization, global warming and pollution due to indiscriminate use of chemicals which hamper the fertility of the land are areas of particular concern for him. It is these apprehensions which he wishes to reflect in his creations.
