Professor Dr. Tirthankar Bhattacharya ,Art Historian and Indologist ,Chairperson department of Art History and Visual Arts and Director Museum of Fine Arts, Panjab University Chandigarh commenced on 10th July,2020.
Roshan Ansal has an immense amount of creative energy to transform anything tangible into pieces of art . Selection of medium has never been an issue with Roshan . He has an immense sense of visualization which he very meticulously passes into his art . Terracotta to some might seem to be a rather simple technique. To my mind it is not only the most ancient but also the most challenging among the sculptural techniques. For Roshan lockdown was just an opportunity to let loose his creativity, which he has done exceptionally well. He uses limited available materials and tools to mould and manipulate the available materials.
Dr Tirthinkar shared that being a silent worker is an asset . The creative energies assimilate to give a structure to one’s imagination. Roshan’s imagination has the wings of freedom..his being in constant company of children as an art instructor has helped him not lose his creativity and observation with a child-like simplicity.
