about the exhibitions…
Jeet Aulakh: Anahada Naada
July 24 – September 19, 2010
In Anahada Naada, Jeet Aulakh adapts the circle and the square -- two recurring formal symbols spanning a variety of spiritual, religious and mythological systems -- to embody and reflect three decades of personal spiritual experience. These works speak in much the same way as does a sunset, or a dew laden flower at sunrise; to the internal and on through to the infinite. Visually ripe with formalist appeal, the paintings in this exhibition transcend modernist dogma and instead speak to a realm more in tune with the spiritual and sublime.
Blow oh wind to where my loved one is: Indian Miniatures from the Collection of Timpy Aulakh
July 24 – September 19, 2010
These exquisite jewel - like paintings reflect the masterful and intricate craftsmanship of Indian artists who gained prominence in the 11th and 12th century when painters starting creating manuscripts to store valuable knowledge using palm leaves. Complimented with 18th and 19th century bronze sculptures of Hindu Deities, these works set up a cultural dialogue between themselves and the paintings of Jeet Aulakh.
