About the Item

Shipra Bhattacharya - Fisherman-3 Oil on Canvas 35 x 40 inches (unframed size) , 1989 ( Framed & Delivered ) Style : Shipra , is a leading contemporary mid career artist of India. Shipra Bhattacharya’s work has dealt with women’s issues in a confrontational, yet subtle manner. While the female figure forms a central part of her work, it is more the inner consciousness of these women that the artist draws on, using bold yet soft colors and smooth brushwork. There is a mystery about each of her female protagonists – about the want of something more than what meets the eye. In her recent works, the female body becomes a site or vehicle, backing the viewer, but tattooed with icons and images that voice both fulfilment and desire. Bhattacharya’s work borders on the sensuous. It is far from portraiture, and yet there exists an endearingly real character to each of her women. The artist combines with ease bright, bold colors and soft, curving strokes, rendering each of her paintings a mesmerising paradox. About the Artist and her work : Born : 1954 in Kolkata. Education : 1977, 80 College of Visual Arts, Kolkata under guidance of Shuvaprasanna. 1975 Government College of Art & Craft, Calcutta University, Kolkata. Solo Shows : Educated at the College of Arts and Crafts in Kolkata and the College of Visual Arts in the same city, Shipra Bhattacharya has been exhibiting her work in solo shows since 1981, most recently at ‘EVEa’ organized by Gallery Sanskriti at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, in 2006.
