Manoranjan Chitrakar

"In West Bengal, the word chitrakar refers to pattachitra painters. We have taken Chitrakar as our last name for hundreds of years" says Manoranjan aka Manu Chitrakar, who has been painting for 30 years since the age of 15. He enjoys depicting societal themes in his works. Manuji has travelled across India, as well as to Sweden and Paris. The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by West Bengal's Patuas or Chitrakars. Patua painters, who are Muslim by faith, represent a distinct and secular art history. They make a living by painting and singing stories from Hindu mythology, local folklore, Sufi tradition, and modern issues. Though the origins of the Patua tradition have been difficult for art historians to trace, some suggest the oral form dates back to the 10th or 11th century CE. The physical evidence of a scroll, on the other hand, does not occur until the 18th century CE.

Bengal Pattachitra

Bengal Pattachitra is a traditional art form from West Bengal, India, known for its intricate and vibrant storytelling. The term "Pattachitra" derives from the Sanskrit words "patta" (cloth) and "chitra" (picture), reflecting the medium and nature of this art. This art form has its roots in the rural regions of West Bengal, particularly in the districts of Medinipur and Bankura. It is believed that Bengal Pattachitra has been influenced by both Hindu and Buddhist artistic traditions, blending local folk elements with spiritual themes. Historically, the Chitrakar community, skilled in painting on cloth, has been instrumental in preserving and perpetuating this art form through generations. Materials and Method The creation of Bengal Pattachitra involves a detailed and time-honored process. Artists begin by preparing the cloth or canvas, which is coated with a paste made from tamarind seeds and rice flour. This preparation creates a smooth, durable surface that holds the paint. Natural dyes and pigments, derived from plants, minerals, and insects, are then used to bring the paintings to life. Fine brushes made from animal hair are employed to achieve the intricate details characteristic of this art form. The process includes sketching the design on the prepared cloth, applying the colors meticulously in layers, and allowing the painting to dry. Some artworks may be further embellished with gold or silver leaf, adding a layer of richness and texture. FAQs Are Bengal Pattachitra paintings suitable for gifting?
