Except Sundays Ideas, Images, Experiences Showcasing paintings and Sculpters Curated by Anirudh Chari List Of Artists Arunima Sanyal Bhaskar Chowdhury Mahmud Husain Ramu Das Soumya Samanta Saikat Surai   Live Wires From 14-05-2008 to 19-05-2008 at 7 - A, Visual Arts Center, Kennedy Road, Hong Kong This show brings together Alok Bal, Birendra Pani, Dileep Sharma, Kazi Nasir, Pratul Dash, Sonia Mehra Chawla, Sovan Kumar, Suneel Mamadapur, Rupa Paul to showcase their works in Visual Arts Center, Hongkong.   Shizen: An exhibition of recent paintings by Prabir Sen, Krishnendu Chaki and Nilanjan Banerjee From 23-04-2008 to 05-05-2008 at Mon Art Gallerie 6 Hungerford Street Regency 3rd Floor Kolkata - 700017 This is an exhibition of paintings by three artists whose works are not so known to Kolkata art lovers. However, these artists have been engaged in a series of artistic activities over the years which are worthy of much praise. Prabir Sen is a senior artist and writer who has already established himself as an extremely successful graphic designer and calligrapher. Besides, he has authored several remarkable books with magnificent illustrations by himself. His paintings in this exhibition bear impressions of his artistic skills, his fine sensibilities and his spontaneous reaction to the present society and life. Prabir’s paintings have a rich graphic quality with intricate patterns. His works are thought provoking. Krishnendu Chaki is another widely known artist with lasting contributions to the world of Indian graphic designing and illustrations. He has also produced several artist’s books of high creative distinction. Krishnendu clearly draws inspiration from the Indian folk traditions, depicting fairy figures of fantasy and imagination. His selection of colors has a magical charm with all gracefulness and innocence of a beautiful mind. Nilanjan Banerjee, the youngest among this group, is a poet-painter. His creative force has always found brilliant expressions in various media of art. When it comes to painting, I have no doubt that Nilanjan is going to take a progressive role in course of time. Nilanjan paints out of a deep sense of freedom. His mingling of vibrant colours, his restless yet powerful lines, his riveting forms and lyrical abstractions together with experiments in division of space make Nilanjan’s paintings clearly distinct. This is a wonderful show. I find expression of joy in all of these works exhibited here. It is fresh air in end April. - Jogen Chowdhury   Recent Works of K Prasun Roy From 4/4/2008 to 11/4/2008 at Mon Art Gallerie, 6, Picasso Bithi, Regency, 3rd Floor, Kolkata - 700017 Timings: 11.30 am to 7 pm Art offers many possibilities for self-discovery. It allows me to have a conversation with the materials and how they work. I often discover things that are not planned in the process, and use them in my work. All my expressions are very much preconceived and spontaneous. It often welcomes accidents. My works are very much influenced with changes and effects of globalization. Sometimes viewers can see self portraits of artist but my presentation and analysis are quiet different in this aspect. In my painting all characters are same in their outer expressions but there are three elements in the pictorial space: the space itself impregnated with memory of living tradition, the signs or symbols of the destructive modernity or the time present and the self of artist or some of his beloved ones. “When we move out on faith into the act of creation, the universe is able to advance”. Art offers many possibilities for self-discovery. It is a way to use the creative process for dealing with life’s ups and downs. This method of working offers a window into my psyche that can be self- revealing. - K Prasun Roy   Trends and Trivia From 15-03-2008 to 24-03-2008 at Visual Arts Center Kennedy Road Hongkong Trends and Trivia ....an indian story   Dimensions and Directions From 8/03/2008 to 31/03/2008 at Mon Art Gallerie, 6 Hungerford Street, Regency - 3 rd Floor, Kolkata - 700 017 Opening Hours: 11.30 am -7 pm. Closed on Sundays. Mon Art Gallerie in association with Bakul Foundation, Orissa Presents "Dimensions and Directions: Contemporary Orissan Artists" Curated by Professor Deba P Patnaik   ‘In search of the abyss’ From 9/2/2008 to 29/2/2008 at 6 Hungerford Street, Regency, 3rd Floor, Kolkata - 700 017 Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday 11.30 am to 7 pm Closed on Sundays ‘In search of the abyss’ - an exhibition of recent paintings by Manoj Kachangal. Curated by Bhavna Kakar. Manoj Kachangal is an artist who is exploring the quintessential spirit of what it is Indian. A personal language he has created through spirituality, colour and abstraction. Manoj began with an enchantment with the world, landscapes, figurative constructs that gradually evolved into a uniquely personal vocabulary. Frequent trialling has been one of the constants in Kachangal’s artistic journey. The assortment of canvases on display represent colour, rhythm, balance, accord, a sense of mysticism and tranquillity. Canvases possessed of a strong and dynamic energy. The atmosphere is meditative and introspective yet inviting, a window to a world that beckons and invites further exploration. Escaping the obvious, his works allow for a freedom of analysis and reading, each unfolding and captivating account. - BHAVNA KAKAR   Badri Narayan - Water Colours From 17/12/2007 to 7/1/2008 at Mon Art Gallerie - 6, Picasso Bithi (Hungerford Street) Regency, 3rd Floor Kolkata -700017   Three Amigos - Deviprasad C Rao, Suhas Shilker, Swatee Nair From 15.10.2007 to 27.10.2007 at Mon Art Gallerie We three met on the road. Different time, different place, coming from different directions. All new age Guru’s may see a higher purpose in this - we don’t. We happen to choose to paint. Goa is small; we would have met any way. We had no choice in the matter. Painters are difficult to get along with. However we tolerate each other. Much to our reluctance we have to admit that this association has been extremely enjoyable and enriching for us. We work in different modes and different styles, yet, however disparate our approaches may be, we do share a sense of what art may or could be. Having crossed this major barrier about aesthetics art and all the lopsided jargon that accompanies it, this association has made it possible for us to work with a sense of space and provided us with license to exercise freedom in our respective works. Suhas Shilker – BFA from Goa College of Art (1981) has been painting for last 27 years. Deviprasad C Rao – graduate in commerce (1990) worked as PR professional and freelance journalist, has chosen to pursue art since 8 years. Swatee Nair – Ph D in English Literature (1980) worked as journalist, has been painting for 20 years. Our accidental meet with Manju Sethia of Mon Art Gallery in Goa, culminated in this show. Perhaps new age guru’s have a reason to smile. - Three Amigos   Two Poles of Contemplation - Recent Works by Anasuya Chakraborty & Debashis Chakraborty From 29.09.2007 to 09.10.2007 at Mon Art Gallerie 6, Picasso Bithi (Hungerford Street) Regency, 3rd Floor Kolkata - 700 017 Terror and Tranquility - Two Poles of Contemplation The artist-couple Debashis and Anasuya Chakraborty apparently build up two worlds of perception and sensation in their paintings. Debashis is rebellious. His works are full of angst, turmoil and serious concerns for the void contained in contemporary living. Anasuya is serene, tranquil. Her searches are extended towards contemplative beauty, meditative in nature. Within that serenity a subtle melancholy reverberates. A sense of lostness lingers. The melancholy strives for the light, the existence lacks. The two artists construct two different poles of human passions. Yet their expressions have grown out of the same existential root. Mrinal Ghosh   Basuki Dasgupta & G Subramanian From 08/09/2007 to 23/09/2007 at Mon Art Gallerie 6,Picasso Bithi (Hungerford Street) Regency 3rd Floor Kolkata - 700017 Mon Art Gallerie in association with Kynkyny Art Gallery (Bangalore) Presents Recent Works by Basuki Dasgupta and G Subramanian. The preview of our show is on the 7th of September, 2007 from 6 pm onwards. Shri Pranabranjan Ray has kindly consented to inaugurate the show.   embracing modernity From 4/8/2007 to 31/8/2007 at Mon Art Gallerie 6,Picasso Bithi (Hungerford Street) Regency 3 rd floor Kolkata-700017 Ramesh’s traditional images are drawn from the narrative and iconic paintings of Kalamkari from Kalahasti. He breaks new ground by successfully appropriating this distinctive regional style of cloth painting on to the canvas. His work depicts the multi-layered imagery of gods, goddesses and demons, mythical creatures, metamorphosis of mythical beings and throbbing multiplicity of Indian avataras. The chaos of plant, animal, bird from the sea, land and beyond was part of his vocabulary. His ability to weave all this in continuous pattern with an inherent decorative sensibility and painstaking detail absorbed him. He simplifies the principal figure and uses conventions of hierarchy with smaller images to create a profusion of multiple narrative sequences. The iconographies of the presiding deity in the canvas are the icons of the major Indian religions. He evokes the multiplicity of the divine mythology as a metaphor for the abundance of humanity and divinity. And his modern sensibilities add innovative changes without straying from the regional style. The most unique twist in his works is his ability to overlap the images. This ability to layer his principal images with narratives of the deity is his forte. He unifies flesh and sprit and affirms the ever changing and multiple identity of representing gods and myths in all its diversity and imagination. SURESH JAYARAM   Confronting Globalisation From 9th June,2007 to 30th June,2007 at Mon Art Gallerie 6, Picaso Bithi(Hungerford Street) Regency, 3rd Floor Kolkata-70017   Vanity Fair From 11.05.2007 to 20.05.2007 at Mon Art gallerie   Coloured Spaces From 3/18/2007 to 3/28/2007 at Mon Art Gallerie 6, Hungerford Street, Regency 3 rd Floor Kolkata-700017 Dhaneshwar Shah will come to you as a young man,, who is absorbed in his own world; quiet surely, a creative one. He is an endowed prodigy, who is brimming with new ideas and is not scared of crossing over the line (experimenting). His work mostly vertical has a graphic quality to it. With a mature rationale he has developed an appealing ocular language, which captures the viewer’s gaze. In the present times most ‘modern’ contemporary artists are shaping their works with a focus on urban sensibilities. In this context Dhaneshwar stands apart. He is quite different and novel, both in his emotive content and in his representations. He has based these works on the vicinity and life of Bastar which he visited in the recent past. It seems that the colourful place and its harsh yet vivacious life have etched a deep mark on the artist’s psyche. One can sense this intangible vibrancy and pulsation in these creative spaces. The images and motifs which are depicted in his paintings are from the animal world. The horses, dogs, cats, ducks, goats, tigers, deer, peacocks, etc. act as the main protagonists in them.   Dear Eyes From 04/02/2006 to 25/02/2007 at Mon Art Gallerie Regency 3rd Floor 6,Picasso Bithi (Hungerford St) Kolkata 700 017 "Dear eyes" A limited edition 20"x15" signed book by Shizen includes all the 25 drawings by Shri Jogen Chowdhury and Nilanjan Bandyopadhyay from the exhibition "Flowing Lines" will also be on display.   Flowing Lines From 04/2/2007 to 25/02/2007 at Mon Art Gallerie Regency 3rd Floor 6,Picasso Bithi (Hungerford St) Kolkata 700 017 25 drawings by the eminent Artist Shri Jogen Chowdhury will be on display along with poems written by Shri Nilanjan Bandyopadhyay.
