Arinjoy Sen

Biography

Arinjoy Sen (born 1993, Kolkata, India) moved to the United Kingdom to study Fine Art at Goldsmiths and now lives and works in London. His practice spans meticulous graphite drawing, hand-embroidered textiles and relief printmaking, bringing together migratory birds, shipping charts and fragments of Bengali script to explore displacement, ecology and post-colonial memory. Sen’s large, scroll-like works have been shown at Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2019), the Jerwood Space and the Royal Academy Schools’ graduate exhibitions, and were the subject of his first London solo with Union Pacific in 2024. Public holdings include the Victoria & Albert Museum’s Word & Image Collection, the Government Art Collection and Kettle’s Yard, while a growing group of European and South-Asian private collectors acquire his editioned prints. Winner of the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2022 and a recipient of the Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice grant, Sen’s primary-market prices sit in the £3,000–£12,000 bracket; occasional Auction Collective sales indicate a measured yet liquid secondary market buoyed by institutional interest.
