About the Artwork +

In Laila Chitrakar's enchanting Patachitra creation, a vibrant school of fish dances across the canvas, adorned with exquisite hues of pink, yellow, blue, and orange. Each fish, a miniature masterpiece, embodies traditional aesthetics and timeless charm. The symphony of colors and intricate detailing evokes a sense of wonder, captivating viewers with its ethereal beauty. Through skillful strokes and a deep reverence for tradition, Laila Chitrakar breathes life into this aquatic spectacle, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the magical world of Patachitra artistry.
Patachitra, a cherished art form hailing from West Bengal, embodies the rich tradition of storytelling in India. Created by skilled artisans known as Patuas or Chitrakars, these intricate scrolls depict captivating narratives through vivid paintings. The term 'Pata' originates from Sanskrit, referring to cloth, while 'Chitra' signifies painting. These scrolls serve as visual aids to accompany oral renditions of tales, known as Pater Gaan, where stories unfold as the scrolls are unfurled. Using natural mineral and vegetable colors sourced locally, Patachitra exudes bold hues and intricate details. From mythological epics to contemporary themes, these artworks reflect the essence of Indian culture and heritage.

Bengal Pattachitra

The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by the Patuas or Chitrakars of West Bengal. Islamic by faith, Patua artists represent a unique and secular art tradition. They earn their livelihood by telling stories from Hindu Mythology, local folklores, Sufi tradition and contemporary themes through paintings and songs. Though the origin of the Patua tradition has been difficult to trace for art historians, some claim the oral form goes back all the way to the 10th or 11th century CE!
