Mithila Painting in New Jersey

Mithila Paintings by Nupur Nishith are on display at The First Annual Bayonne Art and Music Festival from June 14th,15th and 16th-21st, 2013 in Bayonne, New Jersey, USA.

The paintings exhibited during the festival are

  1. Lord Ganesha
  2. Bride in Mithila
  3. Ardhanarishwar
  4. Kalash
  5. Raas (with Face)

Due to shortage of time five existing Mithila Paintings were displayed in the exhibition.  However, The paintings received a overwhelming appreciation from all the Art Lovers who visited. People were just enamoured by the the detail work with colours in the paintings. For them it was an new style of artform so there were a lot of questions like how is it done, how much time does it take etc.. .   Overall it was a really interesting experience.
This was a first for me in this country. It was a good learning experience too.
Hope you like the pictures.
