An ode to spring

A group exhibition ‘The Art Tune of Spring’ held at Capital’s Lalit Kala Akademi, features works of Sekhar Kar, Subrata Das, Subrata Paul, Swarnali Pal and Jayanta Khan.

As they say, for a true artist, spring marks the blossoming of flowers in bloom. The show presented and curated by Arijit Mukherjee and Aninda Adhikary is an ode to spring.  

Sekhar Kar’s paintings project men and women in swirling colours with emptiness in their eyes, whereas Subrata Das’ works are imbued with colour, mystery and romance by use of acrylics on convas and mixed media works. His favourite theme is the love of Radha and Krishna. The beauty of his art lies in the serene and graceful aura that is depicted the aqua and blue-green heroes and heroines.

Subrata Paul, a young dynamic sculptor, explores the hidden territory of visual forms in his own comprehension. He has created a distinctive style through his evocative sculptures embellished with a mixture of east west styles.

Swarnali uses colour therapy for correction of the vision of the special child. Nothing restricts her in showing life through bright colours, which break the monotony of everyday life.

Jayanta Khan’s paintings evoke a world in which the distinctive boundaries of discrete realities are brought together. The existence of co-existence and the co-existence of oddities are depicted in his own special way through use of Egyptian masks, creating a relationship between nature and colour.
