About the artwork
The inspiration for Subramanian’s work, in his own words, is “the innocence and divine beauty in a child’s face, and the power of Indian mythology.” With his portrayal of child-like Buddha, Krishna, Ganesha and Hanuman, he seeks to spark a sense of joy in his audience. Many of his works depict blissful young girls, inspired by his own daughter, Surya, who he lost to cancer at a young age. Surya means sun, and for Subra, as the artist is fondly called, his daughter shines on through his .. ough his art. G. Subramanian’s also finds artistic inspiration in the work of Jamini Roy and K.C.S. Paniker.
In an artistic career spanning over 25 years, he has received numerous honours and prizes, which include the Saudi 3rd, 4th and 6th Malwan GCC Countries Biennale Awards, and the prestigious AIFACS award in 2000. He has held more than 10 solo shows and participated in numerous exhibitions at the state and national levels, and also in auctions for charity. G. Subramanian’s works can be found in private collections all over the world, as well as in galleries, museums and corporates. The artist lives and works in Bangalore.

Born in 1980, Anwar Chitrakar is a patua artist who was trained in the 19th century Kalighat style of painting by his father Amar Chitrakar. In West B
...
engal, small communities of patuas or village artists create long vertical paintings, illustrating stories of Krishna, Rama, and other Indian gods and mythological figures. Scene after scene gets unfolded as the scroll is gradually unwound. Such scrolls are not made for the purpose of selling, but instead, to equip the artists in their role of a wandering minstrel. Patuas go from village to village, gathering an audience around them, displaying their scrolls and reciting their contents.
Unlike the other patua artists in his village, Anwar Chitrakar took up painting as a profession much later, when he was twenty years old. Before that, he worked as a tailor in his village, as there was little commercial prospect for folk painters in Bengal. Since he started his career as a painter relatively late, Anwar felt he needed to do something new or different. And hence, he has evolved into a more individualistic artist, blending tradition with modernity in innovative ways in his artistic practice. He creates natural colours in keeping with the Patua tradition. For instance, turmeric and marigold are used to create yellow, black is taken from the ink of kerosene lamps. On the other hand, he is also adopting contemporary practices from the world of art, and is one of the few patua artists who signs his paintings. While Anwar still paints on the traditional cloth-paper scroll, he also uses more contemporary mediums like canvas, British paper, and Italian paper. Traditional myths and stories form the basis of Anwar’s work. He strolls around his village, listening to what people have to say. His art depicts stories from their conversations, with a pinch of satire often added in.
Anwar Chitrakar has participated in several exhibitions both in India and abroad, such as the Berlin Festival 2012, Namaste India Festival Japan 2012, Devi Art Foundation’s “Vernacular in the Contemporary”, and others. His paintings are part of the collection at the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Mumbai International Airport, and many important private collections. Anwar Chitrakar won the West Bengal State Award in 2002, the National Award in 2006 and the President’s Award amongst others. The artist resides and works in his village in West Bengal. Read more
