Moutushi Chakraborty is an alumnus of Wimbledon School of Art. Her first solo show was held at the Nehru Center - India High Commission in London in 2002 and her recent solo show in 2012 at Gallery Time & Space in Bangalore. Moutushi has exhibited widely in her own country and abroad. Her works have been collected by art enthusiasts from world over. Creativity for her is a self-exploratory method of progression and confrontation. She feels that the body as a medium most intimately entangled with the psyche, suffices as a canvas for the allegorical expressions of life. What it endures is what it expresses through lumps, folds and crinkles while hiding some more. She traces and retraces her steps with this notion of the body and its inner and outer sensibilities, assimilating with the time and space they inhabit. The artist sees incidents as a chain of events...repeated, remembered and cherished. Human experiences of vanity, pain and ecstasy inspires her to ruminate and thereby informs her inquest as an artist. Through drawings, prints, paintings and photography Moutushi aspires to convey these sensibilities imbibed from life around. An obsession with 'form' garners her attention towards natural entities like stones, plants, shells etc. with which she draws a parallel to the human form. Details like texture, volume and scale heighten this synthesis in her stylistic genre. The artists lives in Kolkata, India with her son who is a huge source of inspiration to her creative pursuits.
