mother (2018) 绘画 由 Meenakshi Jha Banerjee

Meenakshi Jha Banerjee is a contemporary painter by profession, working consistently for the past 20 years in Bihar (INDIA). Her roots are deep sown in Madhubani, a district of North Bihar, internationally known for the vivid and vibrant panorama of tradition, embedded in the folk paintings of the region.

She is best known for her experimentations with the traditional elements of Mithila art forms. Over the years, she has evolved a signature style of her own where the feelings, emotions, elements, intricacies and tradition of Madhubani paintings are merged with current subjects, modern medium and contemporary skill, in a diversified dimension. She majorly works with acrylic on stretched canvass.

Initially she practiced and mastered the traditional and colloquial techniques, but as she matured, she started responding to social actions and contemporarisation. Her works are Inspired by the intricate simplicity of the folk art which she inherited and the vibrancy of modern masters, which she admires. Her signature style has a balanced influence of both.
