Art Exhibition

Happy to start my blog with the news of a solo exhibition of my paintings just finalised at the EPICENTRE - a cultural hub in Gurgaon. dates : Friday 29th October -Sunday 31st October. All are welcome.

My paintings as most of you may be aware, are created with eco mineral pigments like oyster shells, corals, semi precious stones, gold and silver on hand made paper. This technique travelled from India in the 6th century thru China Korea to Japan, where they perfected it and gave it the name of Nihonga. This art form is relatively unknown to the contemporary artists outside Japan (wikipidia- nihonga outside japan) and has been an exciting challenge for me. It is an obsession, as it involves the use of ecofriendly mediums & is a No No to chemicals.
