Bikash Bhattacharjee (21 June 1940 – 18 December 2006) was an Indian painter from Kolkata in West Bengal. Through his paintings, he depicted the vivaciousness of the average middle-class Bengali – their aspirations, superstitions, hypocrisy and corruption, and even the ill-treatment that is endemic to Kolkata. He worked in oils, acrylics, water-colours, conté and collage. In 2003, he was awarded the highest rave review of Lalit Kala Akademi, India’s National Academy of Arts, the Lalit Kala Akademi Fellowship.
