Indian renowned sculptor Sarbari Roy Choudhury’s exhibition title Sensibility Objectified is recently held at Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts.  With a sculptural sensibility shaped by his early contacts with the masters of modern sculpture in the West, Sarbari Roy Choudhury is essentially a modeler in the best modernist tradition for which sculpture is the magical act of turning clay into flesh. And in this he is almost without a parallel among his contemporaries. Dhaka June 2009. © Monirul Alam
