Amit Dutt

Amit innately realizes the relation of the visible art to the external world, the sheer necessity of harmony in form and tone and the inborn human desire to connect beauty with truth. His works imbues all this and something more, a wholesomeness that remains intangible in magnitude but all pervading in perception and influence.
Thought while traversing through mind and heart, With a brush of feeling and experience When alights on canvas, the colours lose their identity and an expression is born and starts breathing as a creation It is that moment, When thought and form assimilate to give birth to a feeling on the plane of spiritualism.
The Soul is transparent. Transparency is the essence of soul. We all are naked beneath the clothes. The difference is, how we think about and accept it - a formless soul or a physical body. In physicism, nakedness is uncivilized. In spiritualism, everything is unclothed and uncurtained. Who is naked? The form (roop) form is naked, but feeling is beautiful. It is beautiful because of it’s formless nature. The feeling directly touches the soul, and form limits itself to mind. That is the only difference in the perception of beauty, with form and without form. In my paintings, I have made an endeavour to find solution to such questions.
His work bears a hidden meaning which is inexpressible in words. Such hidden meaning is only a thing to be felt. The viewer--appraiser may try to find out such hidden meaning, in accordance to the state of his environmental thinking and wisdom. Perhaps, he may get something.
