Trained at Kala Bhavan, Visva-Bharati, Thakur draws from the legacy of figures such as Nandalal Bose, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Ramkinkar Baij, and Somnath Hore, while forging a distinctly personal visual vocabulary, Haren Thakur’s artistic practice has evolved into a nuanced modernist language deeply anchored in nature, indigenous knowledge systems, and lived rural experience. Working primarily with Nepalese rice paper, watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media, his compositions synthesize folk traditions, Cubist structures, and Eastern modernist thought.
