Jaya Ganguly

Graduated from the Indian College of Art, Calcutta, her works depict dream images which are mysterious and vibrant in colour. The figures are surreal, distorted and express a certain torment. She spent much of her childhood in the vicinity of the famous Kali Temple of Kolkata. “In my early paintings the Mother Kali would appear sometimes as a person or the most ordinary women would resemble HER – and even parody HER divine gestures” says Jaya. “……..the movement is away from emotional chaos to a balanced cosmos. Colours can still splinter, group and bond as sub-particles to create shapes that finally assume significance of form” feels Jaya. She has participated in several prestigious projects in India and abroad.
