About the Artwork +

Revered Bengal Pattachitra artist, Manoranjan Chitrakar portrays assorted motifs and patterns on separate wooden spatula. The artist showcases a blend of tribal motifs with floral layouts, infused with fishes on other spatulas. The use of tribal themes and floral patterns on the spatulas reflects the rich cultural heritage of West Bengal, as the state is home to various tribal communities. Incorporating tribal motifs pays homage to these indigenous cultures, in addition flowers and leaves are meticulously painted on spatulas, in Bengal Pattachitra art, representing the connection between humans and the natural world. Alternatively, in Bengali culture, fish is a staple food and a vital part of the cuisine, often considered a delicacy and is culturally symbolic. Depicting fishes on utensils is a way to honor the importance of fish in the daily diet.

Manoranjan Chitrakar

"In West Bengal, the word chitrakar refers to pattachitra painters. We have taken Chitrakar as our last name for hundreds of years" says Manoranjan aka Manu Chitrakar, who has been painting for 30 years since the age of 15. He enjoys depicting societal themes in his works. Manuji has travelled across India, as well as to Sweden and Paris. The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by West Bengal's Patuas or Chitrakars. Patua painters, who are Muslim by faith, represent a distinct and secular art history. They make a living by painting and singing stories from Hindu mythology, local folklore, Sufi tradition, and modern issues. Though the origins of the Patua tradition have been difficult for art historians to trace, some suggest the oral form dates back to the 10th or 11th century CE. The physical evidence of a scroll, on the other hand, does not occur until the 18th century CE.
