Artist Sunil Das

It is true that eminent Indian artists like MF Husain, Sunil Das and SH Raza are highly respected in Malaysian art circles.  Building an exclusive collection for its art gallery in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Modern Canvas has been giving special importance to works by these and other other renowned Indian artists. Acquired from reputed art auction house Christie's, at least two valuable modern art paintings by artist Sunil Das have made it to the prestigious Modern Canvas collection in Malaysia. 

Sunil Das was a prominent Indian painter known for his expressive works, particularly in the medium of ink and watercolor. He often focused on themes related to horses, using them as symbols of strength and freedom. Das's style blended traditional Indian techniques with modern artistic sensibilities, making him a notable figure in contemporary Indian art.

Sunil Das is renowned for his evocative paintings of women, often portraying them with a sense of grace and strength. His works frequently depict female figures in fluid, dynamic poses, showcasing emotions and narratives through their expressions and postures.

The use of bold colors and intricate lines emphasizes the depth of character and cultural themes. His style often blends traditional Indian aesthetics with modern techniques, creating a unique visual language.

Modern Canvas experts mention that, Sunil Das is also celebrated for his striking paintings of horses, which are central to his artistic expression. His works often capture the power and grace of these animals, using dynamic lines and bold colors. The horses are portrayed in various poses, conveying emotions ranging from freedom to strength.

Sunil Das was associated with the Progressive Artists' Group (PAG), which played a significant role in the modern art movement in India. This group, founded in 1947, aimed to break away from traditional Indian art forms and sought to incorporate contemporary ideas and techniques. Modern Canvas is keen to include exclusive art works from prominent members of the PAG group, this to inspire young artists in Malaysia and across the globe.

Sunil Das's work within PAG reflected a blend of abstraction and figurative elements, often focusing on themes of identity, emotion, and the human experience. His paintings, particularly of horses and women, showcased a unique fusion of modernity and traditional influences. While it is true that the Malaysian art scene is well acquainted with the works of artists like Sunil Das, Modern Canvas hopes to draw more art lovers to appreciate the works of such stalwarts from Indian modern art.
