Trailblazer Award
“Last night” by Ankan Karmakar using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা”.
“Extremely promising, both in terms of skills and ideas. The work shows a continuation of not only motifs, but thoughts as well. The catchphrase beautifully depicted through the continuity and the discontinuity of the two fragmented images. The matte colours create the suitable effects for the same.“-JURY
Mastercrafter Award Winning entry :
“Genesis” by Ankan Karmakar using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“Poignant enunciation of the catchphrase and the concept of ‘genesis’. Extremely subtle nod to the theme, executed with a lot of skill. The scale and size of the painting seems spectacular. The colour palette and the bright strokes of line create a beautiful effect.”– JURY
“Reflection” by Dwaipayan Ghosh using No Catchphrase.
“Extremely skilful and wonderful play of colours and light. The reflections on the glass bottle, the folds of the blanket underneath and the distinctive three dimensional effect are extremely laudable. The presence of a catchphrase would have been welcome.”–JURY
Mastercrafter Award Winning entry :
An Untitled Artwork by Dwaipayan Ghosh using Catchphrase “Eloquent eyes/ চোখ ভরা কথা”.
“
Beautiful work. The assertiveness and determination of the girl is expressed beautifully through her eyes and the tight-set jawline.
The portrait should have been titled.”– JURY
“Birth” by Debarati Ghosh using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত.”
“Very unconventional and innovation approach towards the need to preserve endangered biodiversity of our country. The influence of Francis Bacon’s paintings enriches this work, adding to it its own individual theme. The colour contouring of the double edged face and the hand is commendable.”.
“Curious” by Pallab K Roy using Catchphrase “Eloquent eyes/ চোখ ভরা কথা”.
“An extremely provocative thought, conveyed through striking visuals. Amazing cross-reference of myth and modernity in this work. Simple, yet hard hitting, minimalistic, and thought-provoking.”–JURY
An Untitled Artwork by Disha Mallick using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“
“Extremely well done picture. Incredible skill. A complex philosophy has been expressed in a very simple manner. The shading of the sky and the fragmentation of the barbed wires highlight the skill of the artist.
The image should have been given a title.”– JURY
Mastercrafter Award Winning entry :
“Abstract” by Disha Mallick using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা”.
“The geometric structuring of ‘crumpled thoughts’ has been done with precision. Simple and neat depiction of the idea.Beautiful hint of Maurits Cornelis Escher’s works.”– JURY
“Labyrinth” by Rachita Ghosh using Catchphrase “A map to get lost/ পথ হারাবার নক্সা”.
Skilful, whimsical and sits wonderfully and aptly with the theme. Outstanding in theme and execution. Very well done!– JURY
Mastercrafter Award Winning entry :
“Preserved” by Rachita Ghosh using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা”.
“A brilliant surreal composition. An outstanding attempt! Very well thought and executed work of art.”– JURY
“Drowning” by Mili Mandal using Catchphrase “Eloquent eyes/ চোখ ভরা কথা”.
“Poignant enunciation of the catchphrase and the concept of ‘genesis’. Extremely subtle nod to the theme, executed with a lot of skill. The scale and size of the painting seems spectacular. The colour pallette and the bright strokes of line create a beautiful effect.”– JURY
“Refugee” by Rajarshi Sarkar using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
Incredibly subtle, yet speaks volumes. Minimalistic yet hardhitting. Without bring verbose, the work most effectively conveys the theme – destitution of refugees commendably symbolised by birds on the barbed wires of the borders. Excellent representation of the catchphrase.– JURY
Dreamspinner Award winning entry :
“Azadi” by Rajarshi Sarkar using No Catchphrase.
“A really wonderful attempt. Kudos to the artist for the selection of such an important and relevant topic for his/her artwork. The symbolisms are appropriate and well executed. There’s room for improvement in terms of skill, however.”– JURY
“Fear” by Souvik Biswas using Catchphrase “Eloquent eyes/ চোখ ভরা কথা.”
“There’s a sense of humour and the playfulness that the work conveys- almost like a parable. The fear of captivity comes out poignantly in the picture. The red backdrop helps to enhance and emphasize upon the idea even further. A great attempt.”–JURY
“Destruction” by Subhasis Das using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“The work brilliantly captures muted struggles. The silence and emptiness that the deluge represents is somewhat numbing and hard-hitting. The minute detailing of every object and the deliberate disarray of arrangements is extremely laudable.”– JURY
Dreamspinner Award
“Coal mine” by Aniruddha Soe Mondal using Catchphrase “A map to get lost/ পথ হারাবার নক্সা”.
“Wonderful composition. The painting is well articulated vis-a-vis the idea. The gloom , darkness and dilapidation of the coal mine comes out beautifully through the work. The use of colours has promise of further development.”- JURY
“Eklavya” by Ankur Chatterjee using Catchphrase “Smell of gunpowder in the air / বাতাসে বারুদ গন্ধ”.
“An extremely provocative thought, conveyed through striking visuals. Amazing cross-reference of myth and modernity in this work. Simple, yet hard hitting, minimalistic, and thought-provoking.”– JURY
Mastercrafter Award Winning entry :
“Thirdworld” by Ankur Chatterjee using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত.”
“Bold straightforward expression of the catchphrase and the idea of the ‘third world’ deserves appreciation. Wonderful use of the Patachitra form to communicate a pertinent issue. The juxtaposition of so many connected images and the presence of the rainbow representing the diverse gender-sexuality spectrum is poignant. Exploration of such themes are relevant and necessary in these times.”– JURY
An Untitled Artwork by Dwip Adhikary using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“Interesting use of painting medium and ingredients, deserves appreciation. The idea is excellent, but the implementation is not very well articulated.”– JURY
“Smog” by Puja Kar using Catchphrase “Smell of gunpowder in the air / বাতাসে বারুদ গন্ধ”.

Mastercrafter Award winning entry :
“Artistry” by Puja Kar using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা.”
“The work beautifully explores relevant and pertinent ideas. A vibrant work of art about an artist and her creative process. The minute detailing of the objects within the room is much appreciated. The way in which the theme of ‘crumpled thoughts’ has been associated with the trials and tribulations of the creative process of any artist is commendable.”– JURY
“VAW” by Susmita Sadhukhan using Catchphrase “Catch 22/ জলে কুমির ডাঙ্গায় বাঘ.”
“The work almost feels like a continuation of the language of the Patachitra, while talking about an extremely relevant issue. The artist deserves appreciation for this much needed statement on gender based oppression. A more precise imagery representing the tiger and the crocodile would have been welcome.”– JURY
Mastercrafter Award
“Brokentime” by Bapan Singh using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা”.
“The theme is reflected perfectly in this work. ‘Crumpled thoughts’ picturized in a socially relevant and well structured manner. The use of certain colours adds to it further. The fragmented face created the right kind of effect here. The matte background and the choice of colours express the bleakness of unfulfilled dreams perfectly.”– JURY
“:Hey lazy?” by Karan Debnath using No Catchphrase
“Extremely spontaneous work. Interesting choice of medium. The idea expressed in the image is not very clear. The presence of a catchphrase and a more lucid explanation in the comment section would have been welcome.”– JURY
An Untitled Artwork by Olivia Saha using Catchphrase “Catch 22/ জলে কুমির ডাঙ্গায় বাঘ”
“Political, apt, and visually captivating work. A very well executed work, both in terms of idea and skill. The contemporary relevance of the idea renders it even more appreciable.”– JURY
“Limitation” by Priti Roy using catchphrase “Eloquent eyes/ চোখ ভরা কথা”.
“The juxtaposition of the two characters wonderfully accentuates the theme of the composition. The idea is extremely touching and emotionally moving. Juxtaposing the emotional response of a marginalized animal and a marginalized human within a single frame calls for special appreciation. A clearer view of the expression of the eyes of the human subject would have enhanced the appeal of the work even more.”– JURY
“Pain” by Purnendu Das using Catchphrase “Crumpled thoughts / ভাঙ্গাচোরা ভাবনা”.
“Extremely graphic and dramatic exploration of the theme done skilfully. A genuinely hard hitting, thought provoking and well executed work. The ‘pain’ as mentioned in the title comes out strongly and fiercely, rendering the viewer speechless and empathetic for a while.”– JURY
“Nothingnes” by Rajnarayan Samanta using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“An extremely evocative work. Beautiful blending and shading of colours creates a three dimensional effect. However, the idea expressed in the work needs to be more clearly pronounced.”– JURY
“Dadu” by Sananda Ghosh using No catchphrase .
“A brilliant and skilful work. An outstanding portrait. The eyes especially come across as striking and intimate. The fact that it comes from a deeply personal space of the artist makes it even more special.”– JURY
An Untitled Artwork By Sankar Ghosh using No Catchphrase.
“Very patient depiction that captures a slice of life beautifully. The philosophy espoused through the work is profound. The minute detailing of the items in and around the shelf is praiseworthy. Kudos to the observation skill of the artist. The presence of a title would have been welcome.”– JURY
“Lost world” by Santanu Maity using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”
“Captures the essence of Anthropocene wonderfully. The representation of the catchphrase in the form of catastrophe and ultimate destruction is innovative. The symbolism deserves special mention.”– JURY
“Sunset” by Shreoshi Neogi using Catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”
“Minimal, subdued and wonderful!. Beautiful potrayal of sunset. The picturization of the horizon at sunset deserves special mention. However, the connection between the catchphrase and this work needs to be more clearly pronounced.”–JURY
“Feelings” by Tanusree Naskar using catchphrase “The boundaries of nothingness/ শূন্যতার সীমান্ত”.
“Extremely beautiful use of colours and composition. The connection of the work with the catchphrase is not very clear. Greater precision in the anatomy of the human face would have enhanced the appeal of the work.”– JURY
“আতঙ্ক/ Horror” by Tithi Basuli using Catchphrase “Smell of gunpowder in the air / বাতাসে বারুদ গন্ধ”
“A striking visual that aptly captures our sad realities. The work, particularly the expression in the eyes of the female subject, has an extremely jarring effect to it. A poignant enunciation of the catchphrase deserves appreciation.”–JURY
