The central overarching pursuit of his work is examining the theme of ‘Utopia’ in a contemporary context through map and model making with his influences ranging from pop culture to deep ecology. At times, his works hold a mirror to reflect the contemporary experience, or it can completely take the viewer to an alternative world. The utopian impulse explores the tension between the extreme desire to materialize the ideal and, on the other hand. The infinite impossibility of conceiving the perfect image. Srinjoy’s work also consists of re-imagining romantic pasts and imaginative, alternative realms. Lastly, you can acquire his collection by contacting info@artleaders.com.
