Amitava’s affiliation is primarily to expressionism, even as his art appears to spring from an enigmatic subjectivity. In contrast to the fine linear quality of his drawings in which figures are built up through an accumulation of staccato lines, his paintings are realised through strong paint application and an unambiguous role of colour.
Recently, his style has become even more abstract. Amitava experiments with medium and materials, sometimes even creating new ones. The medium used by the artist for conveying similar ideas becomes central to the content of the works.
