For his content, Anirban initially drew upon nature as reflected in his mind’s eye. Those landscapes in bright daubs of colours were abstracts of the reality he saw around him. Essentially the 40-year- old responds to his environment. So, when nature plays havoc in the form of a ‘tsunami’, that too, enters his picture space. Increasingly he is moving towards subjects with greater relevance to his own times, as he is towards creating a pictorial language that is recognisably his own. He will soon open new horizons in his quest for a place under the sun.”
