Three masters
What: Sporting a collection of fresh canvases that dazzle with the brilliance of colour applications, triggering liberating moods and definable strokes, here’s an exhibition that brings together the works of three formidable artists. Titled ‘Tres Maestros’, it features the works of Niren Sengupta, Nupur Kundu and Niladri Pal. Not a rehash of old works by these artists, the artworks from these palettes has another plus point in their large size formats, which allows viewers to enjoy the detailing and also examine at first hand the representative techniques of these senior artists. Bearing a strong narrative, the paintings are pictorial and perspective-ridden, knitting them into a holistic yet distinct arrangement.

Breaking free
What: Artist Sujata Kar Saha has charted a new course in discovering landscapes of rare variety and entwining them with various moods and emotions, intensely, with superb finesse.

The strokes are free with no lines to constrict them, yet one can feel the lines as well as their edges.
