I am happy that the Rashtriya Lalit Kala Kendra, Kolkata has once again taken the initiative in organising an exhibition, representing the entire North Eastern part of the country. For years together. the Akademi has served as a meaningful forum for the arts. It has not only promoted intercultural understanding but also contributed to the growth of the art consciousness among the people cutting across regional boundaries.
The rich legacy of tradition Eastern Indian Art has made an outstanding contribution to the Indian art, though the artists of today do not merely inherit their orient tradition but also absorb the best of occidental art. It is in this fact that lies the strength of eastern art today.
Experimentation has been the distinguishing trait of the artists of the Eastern region as it is revealed through an ocean of trends and styles, which have brought every possible resource of humanity to the service of art. Contemporary East Indian artists have not only been accepting the external influences but also continuously searching and making innovations in artistic techniques on the basis of the tradition.
In fact East Indian art has come to such a pass that it can now claim to have carved a niche for itself in the world art.
