"Manab Banerjee is definitely inclined towards gasping secrets hidden in human faces and bodies. For this he tries to reveal emotions in different contexts of human behaviors, small pleasures and sorrows attract his reactions. In (MOURNING-I) two figures sitting closely with their faces in opposite directions, are able to portray the silent drama of sorrow without dramatization. The effect is tremendous." -INDIAN EXPRESS, NEW DELHI

"His present painting once again show an artist of promise. 'MOODS OF NATURE' is a charming decorative treatment of a tree, and his human figures often fascinating innovations…. 'THE WAY TOWARDS HOME' is handsome re-organization of nature into a lovely pattern." -THE STATEMAN

"...Whether the subject is landscape, still life or human form his paintings radiate gaiety through pleasing colors. Manab is particularly fond of 'human forms that are full of emotions.' For example, a group of youthful figures bubbling over the joy and liveliness in the painting entitled 'ECSTASY'. ...The landscape, which Manab has painted, emphasizes quieter aspects of nature... The green trees and the blue sky relax the nerves and that the sound of the falling leaves creates and sweet music which softens our emotions. ... His art always reflects a cheerful, bright attitude. 'For me sadness is something very personal and I can never share it with others through my painting,' he says..." INDIAN EXPRESS

"Banerjee's compositions are refreshingly untainted by approaches and conceptions that could be deemed derivative or imitative. The artist's visualizations are genuinely personal and accordingly carry the imprint of Indian ness. ...Banerjee's abstract forms are eloquent by virtue of their visual relationship with nature - tree forms and rock forms. Everything appears to be vigorously sprouting and growing and reaching for the sky. Twisted trees seem to take on human gestures, imbuded as they are with an intense desire for life. Ancient rocks seem to be veering for the human touch to spring to life. ...His oil pastel work (titled ROCK EYES) is well executed and depicts a vibrant abstract pattern of round masses. Among his more successful compositions, special mention should be made of the piece named 'BROKEN MELODY' (Oil on canvas) which is an interesting experiment in the relationship between space and volume. ...'ECTASY' and 'RHYTHM' (both oil on canvas), are perhaps the best items in the collection." -THE TELEGRAPH
