Artist Jayashree Chakravarty Talks About Her Trysts With Nature And Forgotten Words
An artist inspired by nature is seldom news. But for Jayashree Chakravarty, 60, nature isn't a source of inspiration but the soul of her creations. The artist, who has for the last three decades, lived in the planned satellite township of Salt Lake, talks to SIMPLY KOLKATA about witnessing urbanisation unfold infront of her.
Salt Lake wasn’t always this symmetrical, urban planning wonder of Kolkata. As the foreword by Soumik Nandy Majumdar to Chakravarty’s exhibition Unfolding Kuchinan, in Akar Prakar says “Long before Calcutta expanded eastward to Salt Lake, in 1958, Kuchinan was shown in an antique map of Calcutta in 1952. It was the area where today’s Bengal Chemical Factory stands. A hurricane and a simultaneous earthquake in 1737 ruined Kuchinan. The main river system Vidyadhari collapsed, and Salt Lake was born.”
