Farmer's struggle on canvas in Calcutta art exhibition
The painter’s brush has rallied behind the farmer’s plough at an ongoing art exhibition in the city. A series of paintings and sculptures on display at a gallery at the Academy of Fine Arts speak of the turbulent times in the context of the long-standing farmers’ protests on the borders of Delhi. An acrylic on canvas shows a farmer woman, with sad but piercing eyes, holding out a fresh-looking vegetable in one hand. The other hand embraces a child. The thought behind the painting — farmers do not keep their best produce, not even for their own children. They give it to the consumer.
