Chaitali Chandra

Chaitali’s subject of art is aesthetics and strength in the community as large. Chaitali sees the huge potential, strength, ability, creativity and adaptability in the society in both traditional and contemporary way. The Kolkata based artist sees and identifies a deep sense of connectivity in all of nature including people and that is the reason why life’s celebrations find places, things, trees or animals as sacred everywhere.

Chaitali’s painting honours the celebration of Life not only in the human form but also in other forms of nature like animals, trees, flowers and likewise. This accommodative attitude in practice is not mere primitive idolatry as the western religions project about Hindus and Hinduism. It is not an inclusive of nature externally but it is a recognition of the Nature’s reality within all things.

Chaitali’s work of art presents great culture and spiritual values in a contemporary frame, reflecting the values and culture on the society in the past and as well as in the present in different forms. Her visual narration testifies her painting as a language of expression illustrating divinities, myths and legends.

Chaitali’s painting also displays an event with rich trees and cows depicting an expansive, free, and dynamic expression. The graceful figures of common people on the canvas are painted giving the visual composition much required supporting elements in colour of right schematic distribution of light and shade thereby delivering a combination of rich elegance with natural serenity.
