Manisha Jha    


The Jackfruit Tree (from the Tree of Life series)

2012
Acrylic and ink on canvas
68 x 57.5 in (172.7 x 146 cm)


An architect by profession, Manisha Jha was born in 1970 and is a self-taught artist. Although she was born in the Madhubani district of Bihar, she lives and works in New Delhi, and, as a result, her paintings combine traditional Mithila techniques with contemporary themes and concepts. Jha learned the art of Mithila painting from watching her mother and grandmother create symbolic narratives of deities and village life at festivals and religious gatherings. The artist currently runs the Madhubani Art Centre, which she established in order to teach other artists and promote their work nationally and internationally. She has participated in several exhibitions around the world, including 'Aspects of Collecting' at the Essl Museum, Vienna, in 2010.
