Badri Lal Chitrakar

Badri Lal Chitrakar is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Badri Lal Chitrakar spent his days in a Kolkata studio that smelled of turpentine and sweet chai. He painted on whatever was handy, old calendars, bits of plywood, because he liked to keep moving, not fuss over perfect canvases. You’ll spot his work in Untitled (ca. 1960): flat colors, bold outlines, a quiet rhythm like a song you half-remember.

His art belongs in Gallery Tiles because it’s the kind that makes you pause in a crowded room and wonder why something so simple feels so good to look at.
