Untitled



Untitled (2007)

I always like those aimless, apparently meaningless, untitled images that I generate while playing with or scribling on my old, dumped or unfinished works on a lazy morning or a Saturday night! I never wanted to achieve something or preach some messages through these works. They are just visual expressions of a particular state of my subconscious mind and they are never conscious constructions with specific goals. I just let the colors and lines flow as they want resulting images that6 talk about themselves, not about me or my consciuos thought process.

Park Street Jn.

Digital Art by Samit Roy

Park Street Jn. (2004)

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, always amuses me, with her vibrancies, colors, lives, ever-changing moods and of course with her warmth. I was born and brought up there; felt her presence around me through my childhood, adolescence and my youth. Each node of the city has multiple images stored for me, multiple stories; each one reflecting various ages, various times of my life. Park Street was a place crowded with yellow taxis and traffic polices with white uniforms, as I used to see it when I was a kid. A kid from suburb, who came to visit a fair or an event near Park Street, and stumbled upon the busy policemen, busy traffic of busy Park Street.

I Was Eating My Head

Digital Art and Analog Art - mixed Media by New Media Artist Samit Roy

I Was Eating My Head (2002)

'It was me who was eating my head!! My head!! It was eaten by me!! It was me!! I ate my head!!'


Another one dumped from my old backup CDs. Probably, it was the first one where I consciously thought about introducing text as inseparable part of the entire object. You can see, the text is still very stiff, in comparison to my other visual-textual work in later years.



One More Story Illustration

Story Illustration in Pen and ink Samit Roy

Illustration (1989)

One more from my old and yellow paper folder of story illustrations from the my 'teen' days! I remember how I used the nozzle of a water color tube to draw the basic thick lines to form the figure, directly on the paper without any brush and then tried to bring out the details with small strokes and thin lines of a felt pen.
