Lalit Kala Akademi is celebrating its Foundation Day from
5th to 9th August 2013. In this week long celebrations,
the Academi is organising a Painting Exhibition, Painting workshop and cultural
event too on the theme “Ragas on Canvas”.
Smt. Chandresh Kumari Katoch, Union Minister for Culture,
will inaugurate the foundation day of the Lalit Kala Akademi, in New Delhi on
August 05, 2013.
Eleven artists from across the country from different traditional painting and folk art will be participating in the painting workshop. I, Babita Biswas, the first female Contemporary Warli Folk artist, will also participate in this event.
My painting is based on Vasant Raga, son of Hindola Rag
and being prepared in contemporary Warli folk art style. It’s a challenging task
because till date Ragmala painting has never been painted in Warli Folk Art
style.
About
my Painting:
The concept of my painting is based on Vasant Raga titled
“Vasant Aayo”. It is in the warli art form in contemporary style. My painting
depicts the rebirth of every small and big part of nature. All the blooming
mango saplings, mating fishes and ducks, the buzzing bees, the cooing cuckoos,
the pleasant breeze, the excited animals, the dancing peacocks are the signs of
vasant coming to refresh our lives. The raginis are happy about the changes in
nature and their happiness is depicted by their merry dances wearing garlands
of freshly bloomed flowers, which again depict vasant.
About
Vasant Rag:
Vasant is a raga (an
Indian musical melody). "Vasant" meaning "spring",
and during that season of the year Basant may be performed at any time of the
day or night. Performed in slow tempo, this gentle melody depicts quiet joy.
About
Warli Painting
This folk art is
characterized by the use of three symbols to compose all forms: dots, lines and
triangles. The painting of Warli tribes (originally) does not depict
mythological characters or images of deities but depict social life. Images of
human beings, animals along with scenes from daily life are created in a loose
rhythmic pattern.
