Study of Buddhist ritual items created in the mood of brown embers is about adding a spiritual hue to the object.This object with a lid is a flat yet two dimensional depiction of a ritual object which when painted reminds us of a way of reducing the radical experimentations that happened in painting in the early 20th century to ‘a kind of detailed intricate shorthand’ that was both alluring as well as enchanting. Bhattacharjee was an ace at absorbing the banalities of modern life and reproduced them instill life as uncanny objects laden with atmosphere and mood. Still life paintings born of objects have deep stories, whether they are belong to antiquity or old my relics belonging to rituals. Bhattacharjee often told his students that even trees as well as objects all had stories to tell. There is a history and a story to each still life born of the object : that is what he valued about them as works of study.
The second ritual object looked more like a serving cup that is raised.This painting says that these ritual objects or vessels are no different than family heirlooms. Bhattacharjee was a poet of the visual. His watercolours are easy on the eye, sometimes playful sometimes sombre, yet technically excellent. Bhattacharjee reinvented him all the time, he loved painting and kept looking for new ways of doing it. Whether you’re seven years old or 77 years old , his art will always appeal. Bhattacharjee transformed the ground of the medium of watercolours into a translucent, cloudy, infinite plane, which he filled with a host of enigmatic, often realistic , shapes and signs. These are said to have come to him automatically, without the intervention of rational thought but born of his own intuition.
