Public art embraces a far wider array of things than one might imagine: inscriptions on a building, ornate entrance gates, street signs, even bollards as well as the more conventional paintings, light installations, and sculptures.
The growing value and importance of public art can be correlated to the general public's increasing appetite for spaces imbued with cultural and artistic value.

THE TREE OF INSPIRATION
Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee is an Indian artist, born in Kolkata in 1947. He graduated from the Indian College of Arts (Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata) in 1969. He was an active member of the 'Calcutta Painters' group. He is married to artist Shipra Bhattacharya.
His themes come from his personal interactions with its urban milieu - its sickness and sordidness, its violence and vulnerability and all that compounds its existential agony. In the 1960s and 1971s, his work was influenced by the turbulence and political violence of Kolkata.
Subhaprasanna has depicted varying moods of the city and its people, its places, and all its facets that make the city distinctive. As he states - There isn't another city like Kolkata anywhere in the world.
