Artist Jayeti Bhattacharya born in 1989, completed her MFA from Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan.
Jayeti works with drawings, materials and objects that explore the thought of home, migration and belonging.
Drawing offers a unique lens enabling her to delve deeply into imagination, observe reality without filters, and articulate the most intimate thoughts and emotions. The journey started from the inception of the work with the handmade artist book “Memories for the Future” to the development of large-format drawings such as “Unpredictable Ecosystem” and “What Will Remain.” Her choice of drawing as a medium is not merely a stylistic preference but a profound tool for exploration and communication. Through an organic and evolving process, she connects past, present, creating a narrative about the present’s complexities.
She Participated in “Transitions and Transformations” curated by Geraldine Ondrizek within “ Personal Structures”, a collateral exhibition of Venice Biennale 2022, “Art and Human Rights: Conversing Multiplicities“ in University of Concordia , in collaboration with Emergent Art Space 2023.
She has been part of many shows, solo as well as group. She was also invited to a public forum to give a presentation on works organised by Rajya Charukala Parshad , West Bengal Govt. 2017.
