About Art
This is an intricate work that is the true hallmark of a skilled artist like Bhaskar Mohapatra. Pattachitra, originating in the 12th century Odisha, India, is an ancient art form using 100% natural colors from conch shells and minerals. Chitrakars, the artists, craft intricate paintings on diverse surfaces like cloth, palm leaves, wood, and jewelry. The art narrates Hindu mythological stories, especially around Lord Jagannath and the Vaishnava sect, as well as local folk tales, providing insights into Odia tradition. The 18th-century decline of Mughal influence in Odisha saw a rise in Pattachitra, adapting further in the 19th century to appeal to British and European tastes with secular content. The art's rich legacy includes masterpieces passed through generations, featuring vibrant colors, intricate details, and clear lacquer for preservation. Pattachitra remains a captivating visual representation of Odia's culture and heritage, thanks to the adaptability of its artists across changing times.
