The name kalighat pata is applied to a class of paintings and drawings on paper produced by a group of artists called patuas in the neighbourhood of the famous Kali Temple at Kalighat in Calcutta in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In recent times, one artist belonging to a family of patuas, Bhaskar Chitrakar of Kalighat, is reviving this style. He is creating the paintings in the old style and tradition but his subject matter is contemporary and often quirky. Featured here are limited edition prints of some of his most popular works from his Babu Bibi series and his religious mythological surreal series. These prints have been made using state of the art technology, with imported inks on archival paper.
