| Amar Sen and
Sabyasachi Sen are two exclusive
artists of India in the field of hand shadowgraphy. Amar and Sabyasachi
have introduced to the cultural scene this unique art form which is
a combination of their hands and fingers against a blank screen telling
you a million stories with complete audio visual effect which may
be called " cinema in silhouette".
This is the outcome of days and years of hard labour. A knowledge
of drawing, a study of anatomy, and behavioural science was imperative.
Amar and Sabyasachi spent hours and days at Zoos, and museums to
observe the details - in shape, style and movements. They had to
master it all. Their instruments were limited to twenty fingers
and two hands. But their scope remained unlimited. This required
complete flexibility of their fingers, making them as malleable
as ever. They took full advantage of the anatomical differences
in their own hand and fingers. They utilised them to their best
possibilities for providing their images with just that slender
touch. The final effect is magical imagery.
 The
duo is proud to belong to the exclusive brood of global performers
of this rare art form. Before shadows brought them into the limelight,
they were just two friends with similar interests - music, mimicry
and magic.
Amar Sen is a versatile artist, basically
a professional singer, composer, playwright, poet, presenter,magician,
ventriloquist, painter, photographer and making love with the art
