Madhvi Parekh retrospective at Alipore Museum shows six decades of work

There is a new art show featuring an artist named Madhvi Parekh.

Her art is on display at a museum in Alipore.

The show is about her whole life of making art, almost sixty years of it.

Madhvi did not go to art school.

She started drawing in 1964 when she was waiting for her first baby.

She learned to make pictures from the rangoli, wall paintings and crafts she saw at home and in her village.

Her village is called Sanjaya, and it is in Gujarat, India.

Her pictures are full of birds, fish, animals, gods, acrobats and villagers living together.

She also made sketchbooks every day from 1978 to 2018, and these are like a private diary of drawings.

Her art feels simple but it is made with great skill and care.
