About the Item

"She" beautifully exemplifies Bhattacharya’s signature style, blending the mystical and the feminine with rich symbolism and detailed ornamentation. At the center of the composition is a woman seen from behind, her body a canvas within a canvas becomes a stage for vivid imagery: a yellow lion, large flower-like forms, a central red mandala, and a tree growing vertically along her spine, the roots of which hug her side. These symbols evoke power, fertility, inner strength, and possibly spiritual or mythic themes rooted in Indian iconography. Notably, two human eyes peer out from her waist, hinting at an awakened, watchful inner self or subconscious presence. She, circa 2008 Signed: Shipra lower left and Shipra Bhattacharya / Kolkata (verso) Acrylic and oil 36 x 30 inches Framed: 39 1/4 x 33 1/4 inches Frame: Gold and contemporary Surrounding her are elements of a lush, dreamlike environment, tropical trees, birds, a lotus pond, and a distant village hut, all rendered in a stylized, decorative manner. These motifs are typical of Bhattacharya’s interest in connecting the female form with nature and the cycles of life. A red-orange tree at the top right seems to radiate energy, while the blue and green hues of the background provide a sense of twilight or spiritual calm. The composition is full of fine patterns, rhythmic textures, and a folk-art-inspired flatness, drawing influence from traditional Indian miniature and tribal art, yet interpreted through a contemporary, introspective lens. Born in 1954 in Kolkata, Shipra Bhattacharya is a prominent Indian contemporary artist known for her evocative portrayals of women and their inner worlds. Initially pursuing a degree in science from Calcutta University, she later shifted her focus to art, studying at the Government College of Art & Craft in Kolkata and then at the College of Visual Arts under the mentorship of the renowned artist Subhaprasanna. Her art often centers on the female figure, exploring themes such as desire, solitude, memory, and the complexities of feminine identity, set against urban and domestic backdrops or lush, symbolic environments. Through rich colors, intricate detailing, and elements drawn from mythology and everyday life, she creates dreamlike compositions that blend realism with imagination. Since her first solo exhibition in 1981, Shipra has exhibited widely across India and internationally, with her work featured in galleries in London, New York, Singapore, Dubai, and beyond.
