ABOUT THE ARTFORM
Bengal Pattachitra is a traditional scroll painting format that narrates stories of epics and legends, woven in beautiful songs, known as 'Pater Gaan'.
Kalighat painting tradition started in 17th century as Patuas from nearby villages started settling outside the Kalighat temple in Kolkata that was attracting herds of devotees.
Hence, they found an opportunity of livelihood by creating quick paintings with bold strokes and minimal detailing that tourists could carry as souvenirs.
This style broke away from the scroll patas of Bengal Pattachitra and developed as single sheet artworks.
WHAT WE LEARN
In this workshop, we paint Mahishasurmardini - one of the most popular subject of Kalighat paintings.
We start from understanding the basics, practicing the faces and figures and gradually step-by-step, we make the artwork learning the authentic way of painting and detailing.
We stress on understanding the concepts so it is easy and quick for you to adapt the style. Also, we lay special attention to know the history of the artform and the people practicing it to create a closer bond with the artform.
THE ARTIST:
Uttam Chitrakar belongs to a traditional Patua family from the Noya Village, Pingla, West Medinipur. He started painting at a young age. His style is contemporary and refined.
