“For the exhibition ‘BRIDGE2WORLDS’ I have depicted the different periods of Bollywood cinema. Cinema conveys the life and struggle of Indian people so I chose a few characters from working class/deprived backgrounds portrayed by different film stars like Amitabh Bachhan, Hritik Roshan, as well as depicting the common public. In the background and for contrast I have referenced the ‘Black and White’ era of cinemas and the wealthy higher classes of Indian society.

I used mixed medium on canvas to create the appearance of a vintage Bollywood cinema poster”. Souvik studied at the College of Art and Design, Burdwan, where he achieved a Certificate of Merit, 2008.
