"Born in 1947, Shuvaprasanna is the Founder of Arts Acre, an artists’ village on the outskirts of Kolkata and an active member of 'Calcutta Painters Group'. Shuvaprasanna's forte lies in blending fantasy with neorealist techniques, thereby creating a misty dream-like imagery of narrow lanes & rooftops of Calcutta City. Besides owls and crows, Shuvaprasanna is famous for his Icon and Illusion series of Ganesha, Durga and Krishna's Ras-lila, the latter famously known as the 'Golden Flute' series with a remarkable visual intensity and a precise, finely executed style. Flowers are painted with a sophisticated idealization, character and personality of their own. These icons are modern and contemporary in their style with a universal appeal and lyrical expression, far removed from the traditional renditions of Gods popularly found in India. "
