Bratin Khan graduated from the ViswaBharati University, Santiniketan in 1993.The influence of the Bengal school is apparent in his handling of the line and color. His paintings exude a light that emerges from within. His figures are languid and flow gracefully with the overall schema of the natural world that they inhabit. Khan essentially draws his subjects from the wide base of Indian mythology, religion and folk lore. His eye for details and commendable mastery of line make his style unqiue.
Khan has had solo and group shows at the Academy of Fine Arts and Grindlays Bank Art Gallery , Kolkata; Rightlines Art Gallery , Bangalore ; ClassieSourie, Mumbai; and Dhoomimal Art Centre, Delhi . In 1992, he won the best painting award from the Indian Society of Oriental Art and Culture. Khan’s paintings are in the collection of Indian Parliament House,NewDelhi,Canadian High Commission in Delhi ,Sony Electronics, Japan ; Sonodyme; and RPG Group India; and other private collections in India , USA , UK , Mauritius , Indonesia and Germany . His work has also been sold and many Christies auctions.
