Tamarind Art to Show Work by Indian Artist Ashok Bhowmik


Tamarind Art in New York City is showing work by the contemporary Indian artist Ashok Bhowmik. The exhibition opened on July 10, 2008 and will ultimately finish August 15, 2008. Now im not a wiz nor do I follow contemporary Indian art and have never heard of Ashok Bhowmik, but by looking at his work, I think is something special a greatness to it that makes it unique and beautiful.

Here's the blurb from the art gallery itself- "Ashok Bhowmik is the featured artist in our current exhibition, 'Alchemy of Enigma.' Ashok's paintings manipulate and invoke a spiritual yet haunting imagery within the synapses of the mind. His juxtapositions have a distinct style, streamed with color and accents against stark, bleak backgrounds to add to the simplistic yet powerful nature of his images. Ashok graduated from the Government College of Art and Craft in Kolkata and has exhibited in many solo and group shows worldwide. He currently lives and works in Kolkata."
