Niranjan Pradhan emerged as an important sculptor from Calcutta, India in the late 1960s. Intuitive beauty and docile lyrical sensibility coupled with harmonious display of sharp, geometrically defined structural surfaces are the basic characteristics of his three dimensional art. During the nearly three and a half decades of his sincere attachments to the field of sculptural creativity, Pradhan had to cross many stumbling blocks, because of the hostile attitude of our society towards sculptural art; but he has amply proved his vitality and came to stay.
