Meet the Artist - Arojit Bouri
Arojit Bouri’s practice is shaped by his lived experiences in Asansol and the Raniganj coalfield region. Coal, central to daily life in mining zones, becomes both subject and material in his work. Using coal dust, glue, and Plaster of Paris in mixed media, he builds textured surfaces that reflect the harsh landscape. His practice connects personal memory with collective experience, transforming coalfield realities into layered visual narratives.
