Debesh Goswami belongs to the generation of Indian artists whose work questions both the traditions of Indian culture and contemporary research. His sculptures, installations and photographs evoke, in general, the theme of identity, both personal and collective, with which the artist is continually confronted. His works reveal the complex world of someone who shares their existence between original culture and their uprooted world of exile, which represent both the transitory and the eternal.
His works are characterized by the use of unusual materials: His flowers, breads, pancakes installations that he made in public spaces in France, India, Austria, Germany, England, China, Lithuania, Russia and the USA, earned him an international reputation.
Since 2002, he has also used his own body as a model for experiences through different actions that are part of the rituals, such as ablution and wrapping in bread dough, clay or even brick powder. Thus his artistic practice invites meditation or
“emancipation” while emphasizing the continuum between space and bodies.
Debesh Goswami is a Franco-Indian artist who lives and works in Paris. He studied at Rabindra Bharati University in Calcutta before completing a doctorate at Rennes 2 University. Then he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes. He has participated in numerous individual and group exhibitions, in museums, galleries and international art fairs, as well as in numerous conferences and workshops around the world. In 1995, he received “the French government scholarship for young artists” and in 1996, a research scholarship from the National Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan (Poland). His work was rewarded by the DRAC-Brittany 2000 (Ministry of Culture) and “Tables et Saveurs de Bretagne”. He has also attended many artist residencies in different countries such as the "Cité Internationale des Art", Paris (France), Art OMI International Artist residence, New York, (USA) Rotterdam (Holland), NAF Poznan, Poland etc. Some of his works have been exhibited in public and private collections around the world.
