My Favorite Tea Stall Through My Memory

Subhadip Battacharya

West Bengal, India

These drawings were inspired by the memories of the stories heard at my favorite tea stall in the town of Shantiniketan, where I studied. A variety of people, from different classes, different communities and different points of view come to the tea stall and interact with each others.
My materials, my processes, and my imageries are all inspired by this variety.

The objects also become characters in the stories.
The smoke from the oven makes every narrative ephemeral.
It becomes a cameo character and it connects those stories through a blurry thread.
