Janam Kundlii by Anurag Paul
"Janam Kundli" is multilayered work. It is a retrospective look at my life and a document of some historical events.
This work is from a series that includes the relationship between a father and son. A father who was in the army was posted in Kashmir during the Kargil War (month- May, June and July). At that particular time, his son was born on the other side of the country. The calendar form of the painting contextualises the period. Also, the appropriate images and texts on it talk about the complex dynamics of both worlds (father and son).

Anurag Paul
Anurag Paul (b. 1999, Kolkata) is a Kolkata-based artist currently pursuing an MFA at Shiv Nadar University, following a BFA from Sister Nivedita University, Kolkata. His practice revolves around exploring narratives embedded in everyday objects, transforming the ordinary into visual stories that evoke personal and collective memories. Through observation, conceptualization, and the use of literary methods, repetition, and mnemonics, his work invites viewers to engage with their interpretations. Tongue-in-cheek titles further enrich the experience with wordplay and wit.
Anurag's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including the Award at Kalanand 2024 (Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation), MoCA Lights 2023 (Patchogue, New York), Collaborative Space 2nd Biennale (Tasmai Gallery, Puducherry), and the Annual Exhibitions of Birla Academy of Art and Culture (2023, 2024). Other notable showcases include Abir First Take 2022 (Bikaner House, Delhi), Ravi Jain Memorial Foundation Annual Awards 2022 (Dhoomimal Art Gallery), and the 87th All India Exhibition of Fine Arts (IAFA, 2022). Through his innovative approach, Anurag uncovers unspoken emotions tied to objects, creating resonant visual dialogues.
