Bhaskar Chitrakar | Playing Piano | Watercolour on Paper | 14.5 x 10.5 inches | 2025
This playful and elegant watercolor by Bhaskar Chitrakar depicts a delightful domestic scene steeped in theatrical charm. A woman, dressed in an ornate red saree with white beaded jewelry, is seated at a piano, her fingers poised gracefully on the keys, as if in mid-performance. Standing beside her is a man in a richly embroidered blue kurta, raising a flower and gesturing with his other hand, as though offering poetic or musical instruction — or perhaps simply admiring her. A cat perched on the piano, looking curiously at the scene, adds a whimsical touch. The detailed ornamentation of the piano, the sheet music, and even the small table at the man’s side all contribute to the artwork’s rich narrative texture. Chitrakar once again merges folk art stylization with modern domestic life, presenting a tableau full of romance, music, and quiet drama.
Bhaskar Chitrakar comes from a family of patuas (painters from an artisan community in West Bengal) that have been practicing Kalighat painting since the 19th century. While his work upholds classical technique, he is the first to bring visions of contemporary society into this traditional art. Now isolated in the bystreets of Kalighat in South Kolkata, Chitrakar has introduced the coronavirus into his work, and his depictions of the virus have mutated and evolved along with its ever-widening grip.
