Manifestations of the Mystique
6th May to 31st May , 2013
The present show revisits a historical moment in art history with the works of four great acclaimed Masters of Indian art: Nandalal Bose, Jamini Roy, Gopal Ghosh, and Gobardhan Ash and also makes an attempt to question a number of just stated such ‘little tested assumptions’ at a time when more mass culture has spawned its spurious harmonies.

Emanation

Contoured Accents - A Group Show of Paintings (22nd February - 2nd March, 2013)
"For life is too short/For life is too long/Pray us to sit still/And not to sit still" (T.S.Eliot).
Aakriti Art Gallery presents an exhibition of nine contemporary artists from Kolkata. Realistic, abstract realistic, abstract expressionistic and sometimes existentialist-these varied genres comprise this entire show. But the importance of the show lies in each artist manifesting his own set of perceptions and developing his own way of recording the same. Each one's language has evolved through his creative and innovative use of visual vocabularies, pronounced distinctly for us to decode, interpret and enjoy.…
