I first saw her paintings at a gallery that I do some freelance work for and I was really drawn to the subtle depth of them. Dipali Bhattacharya, a Calcutta/kolkata based artist creates beautiful visual poetry with her paintings. Her carefully constructed paintings often feature detailed portraitures of stoic women framed in convention. Surrounded by the monotony of an old city , there are gradual signs of progression and change. One wonders , what the deal is with all the flying birds - metaphor for freedom, independence? Probably. Thats the beauty of art, it can mean almost anything you want it to.
I don't know if its the kolkata connection, but her paintings remind me of the posters for The Namesake.
