Sanju Jain

Description

Sanju grew up in a village called Aari, a hundred and twenty-five kilometers from Bhopal. She was fascinated with the paper pulp baskets that the village women made. She has incorporated these techniques in making her paper pulp paintings. By mixing clay with some other ingredients, she churns it. The paste thus made is coated on the canvas to dry with glue from the Babool tree. She then wields her brush with colours that invoke sunrise and sunset, dawn and dusk, water and vegetation. Sanju taught Art in a school at Sehore for eight years during which her own learning process never stopped. Sanju is associated with the Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal.
