Jayasri Burman b. 1960
Jayasri Burman's painting depicts a lush tableau of deities like Shiva, Parvati, Kartik and Ganesha, along with their mounts, exuding a warm familial mood. Surrounded by flora and fauna of theory heavenly abode, Burman's style of recreating a mythological scene in a folk style fosters a free flow of imagination and an alternative way of illustrating the traditional pool of knowledge. In addition, the signature textural effect, contemporised personalities of the deities and stylised contour along with hybrid species add a striking drama to the supernatural residence of gods and goddesses.
