TRAILBLAZER AWARD

‘Girls are just a toy’ by Ankan Karmakar using No Catchphrase .

Girls are just a toy

“Idea well conveyed, execution equally good. The bold attempt to unwrap the highly sensitive and tragic side of our social life is laudable all the more because it is devoid of pretensions and subtleties. But then such a delicate issue requires more polish and finesse. We expect the artist to produce more incisive creations in the future, with greater honing of his skills and refinement of his sensitivity. .”-JURY

‘Virtual Reality’ by Sandipan Karmakar using Catchphrase 
‘Hungry walkathon/অভুক্ত “ওয়াকাথন’.

Virtual reality

“Excellent idea and execution too. Very well done. Satire at many levels, that is deep, scathing and very relevant. The artist never ceases to surprise us with his creative experiments unveiling contemporary social paradoxes. With his irresistible urge to explore various expressions of forms and figures, we expect to see many more telling creations from him in the future.”– JURY

‘Panic’ by Subhajit Dhibar using Catchphrase ‘What you can’t see/যারে যায়না দেখা’.

Panic

“Excellent idea and excellent execution. This is spot on, Bravo! It is simple, ordinary, yet quite effective a frame… very communicative at that.The reinforcing lines gives good force and kinetic sense in the frame… good work with the composition! Expect the artist to experiment further with his color palate and use more innovative caricaturisation, contrasts and exaggeration, especially of the non-human characters, and deliver extraordinary art works in the future..”-JURY
