Tanup Nath studied painting in Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati, Shantiniketan and "received his master degree with 1st class. Since his days as a student in Kala Bhavan, Tanup was passionately involved in his work and could produce a large body of work which showed sign of extraordinary skill and originality.
In his presents show Tanup has displayed few of his earlier works and more of his recent works.
Tanup's drawings or paintings are charged with physical energy and sensuality along with deep aesthetic charm and expressiveness. His distortion of forms of human figures, male or female, with spontaneous rhythmic twists and truns and their gestures are unique and individualistic. He has compulsive desire, a very spontaneous act, to create such distorted forms and figures. His earlier works were drawn or painted mostly with colours mixed with grey or black. His recent works are a feast of eyes with brilliant colours: red, blue or orange. He creates a world of fantasy and unreality. They are full of vibration and joyfulness.
