Biography-Gourav Dutta
Gourav Dutta is a young artist working within realism and hyperrealism, mainly in watercolours.
Gourav is a rising star from India and is a self-taught artist. His detailed observation of his surroundings made him love realism. His paintings evoke emotional responses from their observers.
“I’m a big fan of contemporary realism and new age hyperrealism genres and love to interpret daily life as it is without any adulteration, through my watercolour paintings and sketches. For me, hyperrealism does not mean copying a photograph but creating something that a photograph can never capture. A good realistic painting is always beyond any photograph! I mainly use watercolor but sometimes I also do pencil sketches, oils, acrylics and also sculpting”.
Gourav has already received many state, national and even international awards from the International Watercolor Society.
In 2019, he started participating in international contests and started to teach workshops.
His works can be found in private collections not only in India but also abroad.
You are witnessing the beginning of an international artist’s career which makes this workshop a very special one!
