Echoes of the Hand
Gaurab Das’ sculpture practice is rooted in touch — in the tactile intelligence of bronze, wood and stone. Distilling the human, animal and elemental into fluid, hybrid forms, his works inhabit a space where figuration dissolves into abstraction and gesture becomes meaning. Themes of connection, animal presence and coexistence with nature recur across his practice, echoing the humanist modernism of Santiniketan, where he trained in the lineage of material- driven, form-centred sculpture. Das’s work is a quiet but vital counterpoint: grounded, intuitive, and deeply attentive to life’s shared rhythms. His sculptures invite viewers into a space of reflection, where form becomes emotion and abstraction becomes a language of empathy.
