Jagannath Paul is deeply influenced by the Cubist art form of the post modern era. Popular for his charcoal works, Jagannath darkens the lines around the images with his charcoal and adds depths and shadows to them. Similar to how even a little hint of khol can add to the beauty of a woman’s eyes, these dark lines, add drama to his paintings and elevate the beauty of his subjects. What sets him apart is his ability to transform charcoal into a deeply expressive tool, capturing the rawness of human connection while introducing a theatrical interplay of light and shadow. His figures often depicted with elongated features and closed eyes, do not seek to resemble, but to reflect. They are vessels of emotion, poised between abstraction and intimacy. His visual vocabulary, built on solid geometries and stark contrasts, mirrors the complexity of relationships - fluid yet structured, personal yet universal. Paul maps the unspoken territories between man and woman, longing and contentment, solitude and unity, which almost feels like walking into a hushed conversation - the kind that happens in the quiet of shared glances, of unvoiced thoughts. Over the years, Jagannath Paul has won numerous reputable awards including Hindustan Pencil Ltd. Award by Bombay Art Society, Mumbai, Camlin Awards, Mumbai, Gopen Roy Award from Indian Society of Oriental Arts. “For me, art is about releasing emotions, it's what I feel and present. if I am not satisfied with my work, then no one else will be.”
