About the Artwork +

Bapi Chitrakar portrays a moment in time that exudes refinement and culture. At its centre, a man of elevated social stature is depicted, dressed impeccably in a traditional dhoti and kurta, a testament to his heritage and sophistication. He sits regally on an ornate chair, his posture exuding an air of quiet confidence. The man's attire is a rich tapestry of colours, a palette that echoes his cultural roots, while the intricately woven patterns of his clothing speak of traditions that have stood the test of time. His attire pays homage to the grandeur of his social status, a symbol of a life steeped in tradition and heritage. His face reveals a deep appreciation for the world of art and a profound connection to the canvas. The painting becomes a profound connection between the past, present, and the timeless beauty of human expression.

Bapi Chitrakar blue-tick

Bapi Chitrakar, a seasoned artist since childhood, hails from a lineage deeply rooted in artistry. Embracing Islamic faith, Patua artists like Bapi Chitrakar exemplify a distinct, inclusive artistic tradition. They breathe life into narratives from Hindu Mythology, local folklore, Sufi wisdom, and contemporary themes through the mesmerizing fusion of paintings and songs. While tracing the exact origins of Patua tradition poses a challenge, some believe its oral form dates back to the 10th or 11th century CE, with tangible scrolls emerging in the 18th century CE. Embark on a vibrant journey through history and culture with Bapi Chitrakar's captivating creations!



Art Form

Kalighat

The Kalighat paintings developed in the 19th century in the Bengal presidency. The travelling scroll painters or the patuas had been practising folk art of Pattachitra. The new manners and customs of the British settlers, the revivalist exercises of the Mughal and theatres as well as the use of Sanskrit on stage was absorbed by the rural artists who had migrated to Calcutta and developed it into a popular urban genre. The period of Kalighat paintings coincides with the age of mechanical reproduction in the form of woodcut, lithography, oleography and printing. These developments had caused mass consumption of imagery in the urban cities and Kalighat was a response to it. The Kalighat painters interacted with the colonial paintings and began the use of water colours, shaded figures, folio-sized mill made papers. They absorbed the role of the western theatre performances and the art schools which developed the unique stylistic features of the Kalighat paintings as we know them today. More here on our blog.
