Bagla Devi · Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Bagla Devi is a Contemporary Abstract artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Bagla Devi painted vivid devotional scenes on cloth, often focused on Hindu gods like Krishna. Around 1973 she created a bright, flat-style Krishna on cloth that blends folk imagery with a bold palette, reds, yellows, and deep blues. These works sit in a long tradition of Indian miniature and folk art, where stories are told with strong outlines and symbolic colors. Tap Krishna to see how the figure is framed by delicate arches of peacock feathers.
