Category: Start / Maskmakers / Papier mach

Jagdish is an avant garde sculptor who has created a new genre called ' paper sculpture'. He is regarded as the world's only practicing paper sculptor. His unique cylindrical life size paper figures in a burst of brilliant colours in groups or individually are arresting, grand and yet most simple. His subjects are the people, animals, situations of small towns in rural India. What is characteristic of Jagdish's sculpture is the perceptive wit which makes every work of his a reflection of his sharp social consciousness rather than the mere decorative. The papier-mache masks are made of pieces of paper mixed with paste or glue and then moulded while still damp. Large or small human and animal mask heads so produced are painted as usual with acrylic colours.
