India, 1965
Gouri Biswas is a self-taught visual artist based in Kolkata, India. Working with layered surfaces, collage, and bright colours, she creates abstract cityscapes that reflect her personal journey through urban life. Her paintings explore the delicate balance between the opportunities and the quiet cruelties embedded in city existence.
Inspired by life experiences, memories, cities, and social concerns, Gouri translates emotional landscapes into textured, expressive compositions. Free from academic boundaries, she embraces experimentation and intuitive processes, allowing her artistic language to grow organically.
Through her work, she invites viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the unseen stories and emotional rhythms that shape contemporary urban life.
