Sunirmal Maiti (b. 1959) has received his B.F.A. in Printmaking from Kala Bhavan, Vishva Bharati University, 1982 and his M.F.A. in Printmaking from M.S. University, Baroda. His surreal paintings present themselves as a collage of scenes, figures, patterns and colours that create myriad moods. The subject matter is referenced from history and literature; once painted into the artwork, it creates a new narrative with its roots in the past. Maiti has been a part of numerous exhibitions in India and also works as a curator and convener of art events.
