Painter Wasim Kapoor dies in Kolkata
Kolkata/UNI: Painter Wasim Kapoor passed away in Kolkata on Monday due to cardiac arrest.
He was 71.
He was born in Lucknow, but his hometown was Kolkata.
Born on Jan 3, 1951, Kapoor acquired First Class Diploma in Fine Arts from the Indian College of Arts and Draftsmanship, Calcutta, in 1971.
Kapoor was an artist possessed by the dark emotions of pain, suppression, suffering and loneliness.
All his subjects, whether simple Indian women involved in daily tasks, Jesus Christ or even the ubiquitous Kolkata rickshaws, reflect angst and torment at the hands of a cruel society.
