About the Artwork +

This exquisite Kalighat painting by Manoranjan Chitrakar beautifully portrays a surreal yet harmonious scene of a woman engaging with a man-headed sheep, embodying the distinctive stylization of this traditional Indian art form. The woman, dressed in an ornate saree with black and pink hues, stands gracefully, adorned with intricate jewelry that enhances her elegance. Her long, flowing hair frames a delicately featured face, characterized by expressive eyes and a serene smile. In one hand, she holds a blooming pink rose, symbolizing beauty and grace, while in the other, she playfully tugs at a rope attached to the unique creature beside her. The man-headed sheep, an intriguing element of this composition, is covered in a patterned, golden-hued fleece, while its human-like face, complete with a turban and a gentle smile, adds an element of whimsy and folklore to the scene. The earthy tones and subtle shading create depth, making the figures stand out against the minimalist background. Encased within a bold red and black border, the painting exudes a captivating vibrancy, highlighting the mastery of the artist in blending mythology, fantasy, and daily life. The delicate brushwork and intricate detailing reflect the Kalighat tradition’s emphasis on storytelling, bringing to life a moment that appears both mythical and intimate. The composition celebrates the connection between the human and the fantastical, embodying the artistic legacy of Kalighat painting with a sense of charm and timelessness.

Manoranjan
"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.   Manoranjan Chitrakar Instagram
