Tridib Bera graduated with a Masters in Fine Art (sculpture) from Kala Bhavan, Viswa Bharati University, Santiniketan in 2005.
His artistic language has traversed several media, where he has explored his fascination for moving lines and dissecting planes. But sculpture, where the play of lines manifest in a tangible form is his home terrain.
Tridib has been the recipient of the VishwaBharti Merit scholarship (1998-2005) and has participated in art and sculpture camps and workshops. Several solo shows as well as group exhibitions across India have featured his work.
His show titled 'Returning Lines’ was hosted at the India International Centre, New Delhi (2010).
‘Polarity’, sponsored by Titan Company Limited was hosted at CKP, Bangalore (2011).
‘DVI’ at Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai Supported by
Titan Company Limited (2018).
“I have an intense liking for lines and I watch their play, whether it is the way in which light moves into my eye from a distant street lamp or the path that the tip of my electrode steel traces as it joins and binds two planes in a unifying knot. These points of union are strong and tenacious.
I try to explore the contradictions and polarity as they exist in the divergence of lines, planes and in human existence. The possibility of balance is perhaps the moment of intersection. the reference point where black, white, left, right can be named.”
