It will be on view at Nehru Centre until\u00a030 October, 2022.\n.\n“Bandana\u00a0is widely known for her bold, unique artworks, that have one common narrative \u2013 that of the woman being the stronger of the species.Her fascination with popular folk art in Bihar, especially the style of Madhubani paintings, is imbibed within her works. Her characters, mostly female, and the intricate motifs that adorn their features portray a sense of connectedness with nature and highlight the idea of a powerful woman. Set against vibrant backgrounds of cadmium yellow, turkish green or vermillion red, her feminine characters with animal heads; often adorned with a tiara of flowers, display a quiet, understated strength.\n.\n\u2018She is a Lioness\u2019\u00a0 is an ode to the central character in most of her works, and metaphorically places the woman at the highest level of societal hierarchy,” states the Press Release.\n.\nImage Details:\n1) Bandana Kumari\nPrincess\nMixed media on canvas\n66″ x 48″\n2022\n\n2) Bandana Kumari\nRoadstar\nAcrylic & ink on canvas\n48″ x 36″\n2022\n\u00a0\n3) Bandana Kumari\nMaharani\nAcrylic and ink on canvas\n30″ x 24″\n2022\n\n4) Bandana Kumari\nChak de India\nAcrylic and ink on canvas\n36″ x 48″\n2022\n.\n#bandanakumari #onview #art #artists #artwork #artshow #artexhibition #thecuratorsart #indiaartfestival<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
