Abstract art has evolved through various changes from the time of Wesley Skandonski a hundred years ago to the present day, gaining a remarkable characteristic through which society, time, and space can be influenced. We can remember many schools of abstract art like Color Fields, Hard Edge, Abstract Expressionism, Geometric Abstraction, Action Painting, and so on.

Silajit Ghosh adopted a knowingly impersonal colour application and delineated areas of canvas with particular textural sharpness and clarity. This style is a significant response to the more natural forms of Abstract expressionism, but apart from those “isms”, Silajit has created his personal language by blending different colors and shades in harmony on his canvas. The pattern of the presentation of his language is a soliloquy. With colours, the artist speaks for himself.
