Dipak Banerjee’s painting is a captivating exploration of the Indian folk tradition. Composed of symmetrical and geometric patterns of tantric symbols, his work celebrates the powerful imagery of the forest spirits, mother goddesses and the Hindu deity Tara, who represents purity. The mesmerizing blend of colour and lines creates an arresting visual display. The word ‘Chausat’ is translated to 64, while ‘yogini’ literally means a female practitioner of yoga. Banerjee’s painting is a stunning representation of the ancient Indian culture, offering viewers a glimpse into its mystical and spiritual journey.
