    Ramkinker Vaij’s sculptures as well as paintings have a expressionist tendency. For his sculptures he used local materials generously and worked with the technique of modelling and carving. His work are characterised by tremendous energy. This zeal of his is reflected in all his works, be it any medium. His sculptures reflect and abstraction in form, a distorted anatomy, but highlights the characteristics defining the form, with a three dimensional quality given to it for the viewer to enjoy it from any given angle. This sculpture, very expressive in its form, depicts the skeletal figure, the reflection of the Bengal famine.
