Create your own Benode Behari Mukherjee inspired artwork!

Can you attempt to make your own masterpiece, based on Benode Behari Mukherjee's paper collages?

By 1957 the artist Benode Behari Mukherjee had lost his eyesight completely – but not his vision. He turned to a more tactile medium – paper collages! He created shapes and compositions purely from memory and continued to experiment with sculpting clay, as well as paper.

You can find inspiration on our Pinterest Board !
