What happens to nature as a city continues to grow?

For artist Pratap Manna (@pratapmanna90), the changing landscape of Kolkata is a starting point for exploring urbanisation, ecological resilience, and our relationship with the natural world.

Working with watercolour, charcoal, and ink, Pratap creates intricate compositions where architectural structures meet vegetation. Trees emerge from abandoned buildings, greenery spreads across neglected spaces, and nature finds ways to persist within the expanding city.

His contemporary art practice also reflects on memory, belonging, and the responsibility of nurturing the world we leave behind.

Born in Kolkata in 1992, Pratap holds BFA and MFA degrees from Rabindra Bharati University. His work has been exhibited at the 64th National Art Exhibition of Lalit Kala Akademi, CIMA Art Gallery, and other art spaces.

What happens when a changing city makes you think about the future? 🌿

For Pratap Manna (@pratapmanna90), Kolkata’s transformation becomes a way to think about nature, memory, responsibility, and what we leave behind.

His practice brings architecture and organic growth into the same imagined spaces - shaped by an increasingly personal understanding of care and continuity.

A RAD100 selected artist whose paintings ask us to look at the relationship between what we build and what we nurture.✨

📩 DM us to enquire about Pratap’s work.

Artist spotlight: Pratap Manna (@pratapmanna90)

Pratap Manna (b. 1992, Kolkata) is a contemporary Indian artist whose practice explores the evolving relationship between urban environments, nature, ecology, memory, and human experience. He completed his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Rabindra Bharati University in 2014 and 2016 and has been a UGC-NET-qualified artist since 2018. Working primarily with watercolor, charcoal, ink, and drawing, Manna develops layered surfaces and intricate linear forms to reflect the tensions and possibilities within rapidly transforming urban landscapes.

His practice often considers how nature persists, adapts, and reclaims space within cities, while also addressing themes of migration, belonging, memory, and social experience. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, including exhibitions associated with Lalit Kala Akademi, CIMA Gallery, Space 118, Art Incept, and the State Gallery of Hyderabad. He has received several awards and recognitions, including the Charukala Puraskar from the Government of West Bengal, the 2023 National Art Exhibition painting award, and art grants and awards in 2025. taken in Kanoria Centre for Arts by @pratapmanna90
