Like other Group 8 artists, he practiced printmaking at the workshop set up by pioneering printmaker Jagmohan Chopra in his living room for the benefit of his students. It was a space frequented by other printmakers such as Anupam Sud. In the early years of their career, these artists often used the inexpensive, cardboard-based collography technique instead of the more expensive etching process.\nDey\u2019s early paintings can be classified as transformed landscapes, almost surreal in execution. He later moved to figurative works, where too the subtext remained surrealist. A common trope in his works is the representation of women, solitary or in groups, in contemplative situations, often accompanied by a peacock.\nIn 1965, Dey joined the College of\u202fArt, New Delhi, as a lecturer, from where he retired in 2002.\u202f\u202fHe participated in several print exhibitions, such as the 1985 All India Prints Exhibition organised at the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, and the Inter Asia Graphics exhibition in Manila, the Philippines, in 1968. He participated in various printmaking workshops run by Paul Lingren and Krishna Reddy, a lithography camp at Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, and another at Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal, in 1995.\nThe New Delhi-based artist has won several awards in his career such as the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society award thrice,\u202fthe Kala Shree award in 1997, and the\u202fLalit Kala Akademi\u2019s national award in 2000.","image":"https://d197irk3q85upd.cloudfront.net/catalog/product/cache/95dbdf78ad5a0d4b547132f80fbac8f3/j/a/jagdish_dey_image.jpg","intro":"Born\u202fin\u202fSylhet\u00a0in\u00a0present-day\u00a0Bangladesh, painter and graphic artist Jagadish Dey graduated\u202ffrom Delhi Polytechnic\u202fin 1963.","name":"Jagadish Dey","profile":"https://dagworld.com/jagadishdey.html","year":"b - 1942"}
