| The Sculptor |
| Milan Sengupta, born 02.07.1957 The sculptor is self taught in the sense that he does not have any formal training from any Art College. But thinks himself to be a very fortunate person because he got two highly distinguished Art teachers in his school days. They are Phalguni Dasgupta,an eminent Artist and Gour Pada Goswami, a very great art teacher. Later he had the great opportunity to work with Surajit Das, one of the fore most Sculptors of India today, who taught him the real Art of Sculpting. The Sculptor serves as a Sailor(marine engineer) to keep his body alive but what keeps his soul alive is what you are seeing in this Site. His works are in Private Collectons in India and abroad including USA, UK, Phillipines, Australia, Singapore, Portugal. When not sailing, the Sculptor lives with his mother, wife Sagarika, daughter Sagarkanya and Father-in-law in Kolkata. |

| About Chalk Sculptures in this Site. The photographs show highly magnified images of Chalk Sculpture which are only about 1~3 inches long ! You are viewing all original works of Art ! None of them are Copies. Many of the Sculpture shown here are in private collections. The Artist and Sculptor has decided not to sell any more of his Chalk Sculpture and wishes to set up a permanent Gallery of his works at Kolkata ... some day ! Since Chalk is very brittle, the Chalk Sculpture have been hardened for preservation and long life. There are Chalk Sculpture over 35 - 40 years old and in very good condition. It takes about seven to eight hours to finish one figure or portrait on a single piece of Ordinary Black board Chalk ! The tools used are a Sewing Needle and a Shaving Blade ! |
