These are to be found in the journal of the Faculty of Visual Arts, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata. According to Deb, the connotation of visual creativity does not hold on to any ‘ism’ or style, but is an outcome of spontaneous playfulness happening as a process of introspection and submission. He has had several solo shows in Kolkata in the year ’74, ’76, ’78, and ’81. In 2001 “Works in Paper” was shown by CIMA Gallery. Besides, he has participated in an exhibition of ‘Stained Glass’ organized by Faculty of Visual Arts, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata and “Art of Heart’ workshop dedicated to unfortunate children with heart disease.
