Innovation in Pattachitra Painting

Hello, everyone so I am here with my next blog which is an interesting topic "Innovation in Pattachitra Painting". Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device, or method".

After spending so much time on research work and my visit to Delhi Haat (as mentioned in my first blog) I come to know that apart from paintings, Pattachitra artwork is also widely used on Cotton, Silk and Georgette. It is strange but it is very cool, unique and a refreshing appeal from the traditional saris, Pattachitra artwork lends a different sense of ethnic fashion to the 9 yard apparel. Bright hues such as red, pink, purple, yellow, green and white are used to adorn classic saris which add a vibrant twist to the epic tales that are narrated on the sari pallus or borders.

Apart from saris, the artwork has become rampant with household accessories as well which includes ceramic bowls, pend, coasters, plates, wall hangings, key chains, and boxes as well. Currently, several designers and craftsman have come up with quirky ways of introducing this art work on large handbags and totes, t-shirts, skirts, jeans, belts and even on stationary.

Nowadays, all products are also available on many E-Commerce sites for world wide peoples like Pattachitra artwork products.

The Pattachitra paintings that originate in such small blissful villages reach across the world. Soaked in Puranic culture and classical romances, with vibrant colours and superb craftsmanship, the Pattachitra has become a distinct art form and has captured the imagination of artists and art lovers alike both in India and abroad.
