PRADYUMNA KUMAR'S WORK ON POLLUTION

It is very fascinating to see how artists from traditional genres like Madhubani /Mithila Art or West Bengal Patachitra respond to current issues and events. Pradyumna Kumar is an award winning artist who  works in the Mithila Art tradition but has imbued it with ideas of his own. He was working on the idea of pollution in response to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan going on in the country and this is what he came up with - the idea of the scant respect we pay to our environment, the pollution and garbage we create at every step, every turn.

The work is extremely detailed and one can spend a lot of time looking through the work to pick up visual clues that show how Pradyumna's mind was working when he did this drawing. Enjoy

  1. The artwork presented on the issue of pollution is amazing. The painting generously describes the pollution topic in his art. Also, I have seen famous paintings and artwork on one of the famous online art gallery i.e. Indian Art Ideas.
