"The biggest strength of Tapan Kar, as a painter, lies in his powerful drawing. He is apparently simple in his form but highly expressive, nevertheless. Ethnic and even evocative, Tapan makes poetic experiments in his paintings with his apt and noble strokes. His use of canvas is grammatical and his use of colour is purposeful." ─ The Times of India / New Delhi October 23, 2003 |

"তপনের মধ্যে একটা জিনিস খুবই লক্ষ্য করার মতো সেটা হল, যে মন নিয়ে তিনি "আকাশকুসুম" সিরিজের ছবি আঁকেন তার ঠিক ভিন্ন অবস্থানে দাঁড়িয়ে তিনি আঁকতে থাকেন "অপারেশন কেশপুর", "ছোট আঙারিয়া"-র ছবি। একজন সৃস্টিশীল মানুষ নিজের ভাবনার কাছে কতখানি সত্ থাকতে পারলে তবে এই ধরনের কাজ করতে পারেন। তপনের মধ্যে সেই সততাকে যেমন আমরা দেখেছি ঠিক একইভাবে প্রত্যক্ষ করেছি তাঁর ভেতরকার তেজকে।" |

"The paintings document an unfortunate phase of history, which
no one in his right mind would like to recall. But had to vent his rage and outrage." |

"Kar's works, in the midst of Delhi's frenetic cultural chaos, are far removed from it. They are all about serene, quite village life of Bengal, which in fact, can be a village chronicle of any part of India." —— Hindustan Times / New Delhi October 24, 2003 |

"...... একটি দেওয়ালে চার পাঁচটা কাজ ছিল যেগুলোতে তপন কর উত্তরণের প্রাগমুহূর্তে পৌঁছে গেছেন বলে মনে হল। তপন করের নিজস্ব শৈলীর মাধুর্য রাঢ়ভূমির রূপ এবং মানুষজন থেকে ছেঁকে নেওয়া। ........(তাঁর) তুলির গায়কীর গ্রাম্য সরলত ছাড়িয়ে চলে এসেছে পূর্ণাঙ্গ ধ্রুবপদী জায়গায়।"

"............ Line drawings, fraught with a dream-like quality is his (Tapan's) hallmark." —— The Statesman / Calcutta April 29, 2001 |
|
"As an individual he (Tapan Kar) has had his own experiences, desires and dreams. But soon realizations dawns that life is a playground of complexities where every individual must leave an expression and make their dreams come true. Truly a colourful and successful exhibition." —— The Statesman / New Delhi November 28, 2003 |
|
"কাঙখিত জীবনের ছবিগুলির নাম 'আকাশকুসুম'। আমাদের স্বপ্নের জীবনকে ধরা হয়েছে তাতে।" |

"..… And Kar is also a trail blazer. As a social activist, he started an annual Nabanna Mela, held on the occasion of Poush Parban, in his native village, Kulgachia. He is also closely associated with Mrittika, a women’s organization promoting terracotta art. And with Tapan Kar by their side, they hope to tower in all their efforts, like he has." —— Hindustan Times / Kolkata June 7, 2002 |
