In the late 1960s, Niranjan Pradhan emerged as a preeminent sculptor from Calcutta in India. His sculptures are known for their graceful lyricism and harmonious juxtaposition of sharp geometric elements with organic forms that draw on the environment around him. While contemporary to European Cubism, his works remain rooted within Indian heritage; evoking modernity while still remaining distinct in style. He has been creating remarkable pieces since 1970 where he further explored this interplay between original form and traditional identity.
