Babu Bibi
A depiction of daily life tiff and tussle between Babu and Bibi (man and wife) where in they attacked each other with what they had in their hands - stick and broom. The commoners of the then Kolkata come alive in the art of Bahadur Chitrakar, which he painted at a rather tender age. It’s an old piece of painting.
Ganesha – Indian God
A very old piece done by the senior artist of the village of Pingla, Baharjan Chitrakar. She has never been to a school or has never had a formal training in the art. She learnt it from her mother and grandmother as they learnt from their older generations. Done in all natural colours, the Hindu god Ganesha comes alive by the hands of a Muslim female artist. Such is the power of art. It takes one and all way beyond religious, educational or cultural barriers.
