The Mischievous Cat:Kalighat Art by Bapi Chitrakar

Bapi Chitrakar portrays the vibrant world of music and culture in this evocative Kalighat artwork. Seated regally upon a chair, the musician exudes an aura of authority and serenity. Clad in traditional attire, this artist is the embodiment of the Kalighat spirit. His posture is one of poise and attentiveness as he cradles a sitar in his skilled hands. The sitar, with its richly adorned strings and intricate design, is the conduit for a melodic journey, and the musician is its conductor. Bapi Chitrakar’s use of bold outlines, vivid colours, and a flat perspective captures the essence of Kalighat artistry. This painting invites the viewers to share in the joy of creativity and the beautiful expressions that continue to thrive in the hands of artists like Bapi Chitrakar.
