" Indian Surrealism: Paintings of Contemporary Indian Aritsts"
2007-12-20 until 2008-01-05
Aakriti Art Gallery
Kolkata, WB, IN India

Aakriti Art Gallery in Kolkata, India from December 20, 2007 until January 5, 2008 hosts "Indian Surrealism: Paintings by the Contemporary Indian Artists", curated by Professor Sovon Som. Surrealism, unlike the art movement in Europe exists in Indian visual-arts contemplation from time immemorial. Indian iconography presents a unique panorama of surrealistic images. Indian epics, legends, rituals and the wide variety of folk arts which thrive as a living tradition, showcase the range of imagination of the Indian mind. Aakriti Art Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com.

The term 'Surrealism' as a common currency now. It is taken for granted as a generative force that offers explorations into the plastic possibilities in the visual range. The proposed exhibition intends to present Surrealism as a human predicament in the Indian sensibility.

The artists invited to participate include Hemanta Misra, Paritosh Sen, Bijan Choudhury, Kartick Chandra Pyan, Gour Ghosh, Haku Shah, Prafulla Dahanukar, Sanat Kar, Ratan Parimoo, sakti Burman, Ganesh Pyne, Lalu Prasad Show, Jogen Chowdhury, Dinanath Pathy, Partha Pratim Deb, Shuvaprasanna, Sukti Subhra Pradhan, Asit Mondal, P.R.Narvekar, Wasim R.Kapoor, Dipali Bhattacharya, Ashok Bhowmik, Shipra Bhattacharya, Yolanda de Sousa, K.
