Born in Tripura in 1956, Jayashree Chakravarty is inspired by the fusion of
urbanity and nature, the effects of which she herself witnessed growing
up as her hometown was overtaken by a concrete jungle. She utilises art
making techniques unique to her such as paper scrolls, varied papers
and other organic material. She often uses superimposed imagery to
create autobiographical works that reflect the fluidity of the world, and
the oneness of man and nature. The presented work titled ‘Space Within
(Double-sided)’ is executed using pigment, acrylic, enamel, sand on
paper and fabric in 2005, is indicative of her mastery of the mediums. Her
work has been exhibited in galleries around the world including Musee
Departemental Des Arts Asiatiques Nice, France; Palazzo Madama,
Turin, Italy; Chicago Cultural Center, Illinois, USA and The Tagore Centre,
Berlin, Germany among others.
