Bose completed his MFA from Goldsmiths College, the University of London in 1990-00. He also did Diploma in Art, Kerala Kala Peetom, Kochi in 1984-85. He focuses on presenting the viewer with a trigger point of images/icons that can, function as symbolic devices with which to speak of an entire culture, its shifting mindsets and, its eclectic borrowings. Experience: Bose pays as much attention to form as he does to conceptual and/or contextual concerns. Bose admits to combining western image-making techniques (such as the installation) with the vernacular, in a bid to arrive at an idiom that is entirely contemporary and brisk. His work, thus reinforced by a `here and now` understanding and awareness of contemporary culture, borrows effortlessly from various disciplines, including literature and design, and periods.
