Reality, as interpreted by the artist, forms an integral part of the creative process. Manifestations of Reality, the ongoing group exhibition of paintings, takes the audience on an amazing and diverse tour around the world, as visualised through the eyes of its 14 participating artists. Each work of art expresses particular viewpoints and varied interests of its creator, as he explores reality beyond the domain of ordinary perception, keying in personal insights, metaphysical concepts and timeless mysteries. Participants include Sanatan Dinda, Kartick Pyne, Prokash Karmakar, Subrata Gangopadhyay (a painting by him appears here), Bratin Khan and Ramananda Bandyopadhyay.
Event: An exhibition of paintings by a group of artists When: Till April 5; 10.30 am - 6.30 pm Where: Idiyas Gallery, 15 Dover Road
