Paintings by Chandra Bhattacharjee, in Kolkata

From the archive record

A gold medallist from Rabindra Bharati University, Chandra Bhattacharjee was born in 1961 and studied at the Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship, Kolkata. Bhattacharjee’s compositions are austere, rustic and intense and are influenced by rural and tribal themes, owing to his associations with tribal communities like the ’Santhal’ tribe of Bengal. The textural quality of his paintings is strongly reminiscent of the traditional mud walls of these villages.
