:: MILAN'S SCULPTURE :: About the Sculptor ::

Sculptor Milan Sengupta
born 02.07.1957

The sculptor is self taught in the sense that he does not have any formal training from any Art College. But
thinks himself to be a very fortunate person because he got two highly distinguished Art teachers in his
school days in Sainik School Purulia. They are Sri P halguni Dasgupta, an eminent Artist and Sri Gour Pada
Goswami, a very great art teacher. Later he had the great opportunity to work with S ri Surajit Das, one of
the fore most Sculptors of India, who taught him the real Art of Sculpting. While studying in school, Bengali
language teacher, Sri Pratul Dutta, introduced Milan to Western Classical Art & Sculpture by giving him
various books on Art from his personal collection and encouraged him to learn by sculpting from the photos in
those books.

The Sculptor served as a Sailor (marine engineer) to keep his body alive but what keeps his soul alive is what
you are seeing in this Site. His works are in Private Collectons in India and abroad including USA, UK,
Phillipines, Ausrtalia, Singapore, Portugal. The Sculptor lives with his wife Sagarika in Kolkata.

Sri Russi Modi
Gallery Katayun, Kolkata, March 1999

These are sculpted on Ordinary
Blackboard Chalks.

The photographs show highly
magnified images of Chalk Sculpture
which are only about 1~3 inches long !

You are viewing all original works of Art ! None
of them are Copies.

Many of the Sculpture shown here are in
private collections.

The Artist and Sculptor has decided not to sell
any more of his Chalk Sculpture and wishes to
set up a permanent Gallery of his works at
Kolkata ... some day !

Since Chalk is very brittle, the Chalk Sculpture
have been hardened for preservation and long
life. There are Chalk Sculpture over 35 - 40
years old and in very good condition.

It takes about seven to eight hours to finish
one figure or portrait on a single piece of
Ordinary Black board Chalk !

The tools used are a Sewing Needle and a
Shaving Blade !
