Kuntal Barai, born is 1987, is an independent visual artist and he completed his Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts in 2010 and Master Degree in Fine Arts in 2012, both in drawing and painting from the University of Development Alternative (UODA), Dhaka. Hailing from Dhaka, Bangladesh which is home to 8.5 million people, his projects represent the organic form of the chaos which he observe on a daily basis, through which some kind of new vision may one day burst into view. His work is neither a mere depiction of the lived experience, nor it is only an interpretation where the real has been dissolved into formal aesthetic qualities. It is actually a mix of both. As an artist, Kuntal's work takes into account of the chaos as well as the sense of loss we have developed over the years since the city undercuts the normal rhythm of life.
