Subhendu looks at the life as an endless stream of images and ecstacy. Sometimes those are associated with nature, and sometimes his thoughts plunge into abstraction. In his belief, life is also a stream of melancholy and dreams, where the pain for existence can be narrated as a very close phenomenon to pleasure.

Beauty haunts the mind and life becomes an exclusive quest for art. Sometimes mind looks forward with a leap from mundaneness of day by day existence. It transcends the limits of lights and shadows, objects and its shadows or co-existence and solitude. Here lies Subhendu's craft, visually abstract but at the same time concrete with bold lines, wash technique or with the grammarless absurdity.

Watch out the use of space in his works. Copying human and nature in its true real form was a major tendency of European art prevalent till the 19th century. It was absent in Indian art. Artist often looked beyond the subject to get into the inner core of the creation. The academic concept of Europe after reaching India put an end to the findings of the inner vision, until the 'Bengal School' revived it under the craftsmanship of Abanindranath Thakur establishing Orientalism. Rabindranath also shunned this 'direct realism'. To him, painting originates in mind. He sternly rejects the idea of absolute direct realism in his essay, 'Man the Artist'.

He has participated in various shows like - National Exhibition Of Art, Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi 2002, AIFACS State level, Kolkata 2002, Camlin Eastern. His Paintings had been exhibited in different shows previously. Apart from that, exhibitions were organized with a few artists of eminence.

He has been awarded National Scholarship from the Ministry of Culture. Subhendu looks at the life as an endless stream of images and ecstacy.
