रंगों के आकर्षण के साथ माटी की गूँज भी दिखी मीनाक्षी के चित्रों में

 मीनाक्षी झा बनर्जी के खूबसूरत चित्रों कि प्रदर्शनी इन दिनों दिल्ली की मशहूर कला दीर्घा इंडिया हैबिटेट सेंटर के विजुअल आर्ट गैलरी में चल रही है। पटना की मीनाक्षी ने अपने चित्रों में बहुत हीं खूबसूरती के साथ चटख रंगों का प्रयोग किया है जो कलाकार कि परिपक्वता को जाहिर करता है। उनके चित्रों में मिथिला कला की बारीकियों का बड़े हीं प्रभावपूर्ण तरीके से इस्तेमाल किया गया है। 

12 दिसंबर से शुरू हुई इस प्रदर्शनी को किरण पुंडीर ने क्यूरेट किया है जो 17 दिसंबर तक दर्शकों के लिए खुली रहेगी।
