Profile:

 Shyamal Roy graduated from the Government College of Art & Craft and was mentored by the legendary Bikash Bhattacharjee. Style: A painter by education who shifted his focus entirely to "wet mud" and terracotta sculpture. He is famous for capturing rural Indian life and deities in clay. The terracotta works in the lobby of Taj Bengal, the terraced garden at the Birla Academy of Arts and Culture, the foyer of the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre in Salt Lake and a statue at Manovikas Kendra, are all his handiwork.
