Parallel Facets- Paintings by Samir Aich and Sculptures by Niranjan Pradhan
New York, NY, February 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- On February 21, 2007 TamarindArt will host an opening reception for “Parallel Facets,” a unique exhibition of paintings by Samir Aich and sculptures by Niranjan Pradhan. It is the first combined exhibition at TamarindArt that is showcasing both sculptures and paintings. It is a great opportunity to see works by two of India’s most distinguished artists in their respective fields. TamarindArt will also launch a book on Niranjan Pradhan.
Opening Reception February 21, 2007, 6 - 8:30pm
(both artists will be present at the opening)
This exhibition will be open to the public from February 21 to March 17, 2007
Samir Aich has been painting for over three decades and has exhibited extensively in groups and solo shows in India and abroad. Aich is best known for his semi-abstract figurative paintings. He is constantly experimenting with new ideas concentrating on essential structural details in a composition that gives rise to these brilliant and bold images with faint reference to the subject. A minimalist by nature, Aich’s paintings focus on capturing the basic essence; his powerful lines breathe life into both animate and inanimate forms.
Niranjan Pradhan emerged as an important sculptor from Calcutta in the late 60s. Free flowing forms coupled with harmonious display of geometrically defined surfaces are the governing factors of his three dimensional art. His forms evolve from the inner core of life and his immediate environment. This duality, of the metaphysical and the tangible, lend monumental and powerful quality to Pradhan’s sculptures.
The opening reception for “Parallel Facets” will be held at TamarindArt, 142 East 39th Street, on February 21, 2007 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. The exhibit will be open to the public thereafter; gallery hours are 11am to 6pm, Tuesday to Friday and Saturday 12pm – 6pm.
This is a Great opportunity to meet and speak with the renowned artists. To schedule an interview with Samir Aich or Niranjan Pradhan while they are in the U.S. please contact TamarindArt at 212-990-9000 or press@tamarindart.com
