Lalu Prasad Shaw

About Lalu Prasad Shaw

Lalu Prasad Shaw was born in 1937 in Bengal. He is an artist and printmaker known for his detailed depictions of Bengali life. Drawing inspiration from Kalighat Pat paintings, Ajanta murals and the Company School of Art, he developed a distinctive style marked by bold lines, refined colour palettes and minimalistic backgrounds. Shaw's work, primarily in tempera and printmaking, portrays the grace and poise of Bengali men and women, capturing their cultural essence with timeless simplicity.

Over the decades, Shaw has exhibited widely across India and internationally, at venues including the Paris Biennale, British Biennale and the Norwegian Print Biennale. He has received numerous accolades, including the National Award in Graphic Art (1971). His artworks are part of collections including the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and the Birla Academy, Kolkata.

Commission enquiry: Lalu Prasad Shaw

Tell the gallery what you have in mind — the subject, roughly the size, where it would hang and by when. We take it to the artist and come back with whether it is something they would take on, what it would cost and how long it would take.

Not every artist accepts commissions, and the answer comes from them rather than from us.
