URBAN SHAPES

What: Settled in complete urban set up and overwhelming hum drum of city life, artist Malay Saha’s works reflect an awareness and spatial relationship between objects and the beholder. Titled ‘Framed Within’, this show projects the works mostly in blacks and whites, squares and checks, flats and textures. Along with prominent blacks and whites, Malay uses bright red, saturated yellow, hues of green and streaks of dazzling paints to emphasize his topologically complex composition of furniture which are almost bereft of human presence. Squares, rectangles, panels, intricate dots and forest of lines explore the relationship between visual and psycho-social space of urban life.

When: January 24 – February 3 (11am – 8pm)

Where: Triveni Kala Sangam, 205, Tansen Marg
