This paper focuses on the contribution of woman visual artist, printmaker Shakuntala Kulkarni from Bombay School who is breaking forms of artwork from restricted spaces to multi mediums and technologies. Artist Shakuntala Kulkarni’s thought process and experiences give an overview on her socially engaged art practice by using contemporary technologies of print making as well as combinations of arts and craft in works. This paper will provide relevant narratives like film, video, drawing, painting and print making that emerges in her work from artistic thought process and journey of the artist. Artist works against the backdrop of a growing movement to bridge the gender gap are timely and on point with a focus powerful expression on unique modes, methods even process through which she addresses and engage with society, politics, history, emotions and environment of contemporary times and becoming part of the global international art scene.
The Artist remains insufficiently investigated or appreciated where Bombay was one of the flourished centres socially, politically, and culturally. She creates a space for empowerment through the use of multi mediums, emerging trends in interactive works of art and becoming inspiration to eminent artists and young generation too. The history of visual arts and printmaking of Bombay School in particular cannot be written without acknowledgement of her contribution as print maker and multidisciplinary artist.
